Summary
A 29-year-old professional from Ireland with a degree in business management, I have gained diverse experiences and skills through my travels and work. My journey to Australia led me to Perth, drawn by the opportunities in the mining industry. With a strong work ethic developed on fishing trawlers in Ireland and years of truck driving experience in Canada, I am highly adaptable to new challenges. Committed to upskilling and bringing my best to every project, I am ready to excel in any role.
