Berwick,VIC

Summary

Motivated, reliable, and compassionate, I am a 19-year-old university student currently studying a Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science at Deakin University, with a long-term ambition to become a physiotherapist. I bring valuable experience working in educational support roles, particularly with students requiring behavioural and learning assistance, and have developed strong communication, leadership, and teamwork skills through both academic and extracurricular pursuits. My background in sport, customer service, and manual labour demonstrates my work ethic, adaptability, and ability to build positive relationships with people of all ages. I am passionate about student wellbeing and development, and I am eager to contribute to an inclusive and engaging educational environment.
