Summary
I have a background in music technology, home AV systems, and warehouse management. I spent eight years with Richer Sounds - a leading Hi-Fi and Home AV retailer in the UK while also studying audio engineering and music production and participating in small-scale events alongside. During this time, I developed a deep understanding of the audio-visual industry, gaining hands-on expertise in AV system installation, customer service, logistics, and large-scale operations.
In 2023, I made the decision to take a career break and relocate to Australia in search of new opportunities and experiences. Since arriving, I’ve worked on a farm in southwest WA, where I quickly adapted to operating heavy machinery, handling livestock, and performing various maintenance and construction tasks. This experience has enhanced my practical problem-solving skills and demonstrated my ability to thrive in physically demanding, hands-on environments.
Through this time I’ve reaffirmed my passion for the Audio Visual and Warehousing industries, and I am now actively seeking opportunities to return to this sector.
