Summary

Consistently perform to the highest standard, having recently completed my university degree while pursuing a career in education. I place strong focus on both academic and sporting achievements, having completed VCE in 2020 at St Bernard’s College with multiple merit and endeavour awards. I have played seven seasons in the National Premier League (NPL) Victoria, where I developed discipline, resilience, and teamwork. These experiences have strengthened my problem-solving, creative thinking, and leadership skills, along with strong communication and interpersonal abilities that allow me to collaborate effectively and inspire others.
