Summary
I’m a dual citizen Canadian-Australian, who's worked in a variety of roles through my career all helping me to become a strong self motivator who excels at collaborating towards a unified goal. I’m socially outgoing and love meeting new customers and coworkers alike and enjoy finding solutions to problems that involve client conversations and hand ons approaches. I’ve spent time working in a variety of team sizes and working conditions between office based sales, in the field oil and gas applications, conventional retail and government work in the eye of the public. I’m currently on a gap year in Australia, seeking work to improve my interpersonal abilities, and develop skills to become more well rounded. I’m looking for full time work but am flexible depending on the nature of employment.
