Additional Information
I have worked a number of jobs during my time at university that have allowed me to understand what it takes to work in a number of different industries and in many different settings and times of the day. This includes working in a chicken factory (Lenards in Victoria), working on the production line at KR Castlemaine, picking peaches during the summer in Thoona and mowing lawns with my father from the age of 14.
I have also volunteered in many different places around the world. I helped as a teacher's aide in Malawi, provided meals in lower socio-economic barrios in Medellin, Colombia and taught students different sports in Sarawak, Malaysia.
