Currently studying diploma of teaching English as a second language to teach ESL overseas.

• Effective communication skills: Ability to communicate confidently to diverse audiences and understand changing contexts. My communication skills have been thoroughly developed by completing professional placements in the sporting industry, and I am capable of sharing my thoughts, ideas and feedback with colleagues.
• Organisation: In year twelve I completed two extra subjects and as a result learnt important skills of prioritising, delegating and time management. I utilise these skills at university by starting assignments early which leads to me maintaining a good academic record.
• Team work: My teamwork skills have been developed in both placement and school settings where I strongly believe that delegating small tasks to each team member will produce the best possible outcome.
• Initiative: I demonstrate the ability to problem-solve and work independently by using the resources around me and systematically working through any issues at both university and professional placements. I also take all opportunities presented to me, and am happy to take on extra work to gain experience and skills.
