Summary

I am a highly motivated person with the drive and ambition to move further in any field I choose. I have the ability to work both unsupervised under strict direction or as a team member liaising with coworkers. I have a 'Can do!' and a 'Lets get it done!' attitude that thrives under pressure.


I have experience in running busy venues that involved multitasking, rostering, stock take and managing staff member and patrons.


I have spent my whole life engaging in sports from athletics to team sports such as rugby league, as well as 11+ years in combat sports such as Muay Thai and MMA. I am now an aspiring body builder with a passion for all things sports, nutrition, health and wellness.


While I have not worked in a paid position within the sporting industry, my experiences in both Hospitality and in Security and have taken me all over the state with various rolls that have involved both being part of a team and leading a team. I have also met and had encounters with different members of the public from all over the world which I believe has given me the upper hand when talking to and relating to clients.

I love interacting with people and learning their stories which I believe is the only way to best serve a persons interests.
