Summary

I am a dedicated and hardworking professional with a proven track record of success in both military and civilian roles. Over the last three years, I served with distinction as a Communications Specialist at SASR (Special Air Service Regiment), where I honed my expertise in communication systems and operations.


Prior to my tenure at SASR, I was stationed in Darwin as a Communications Systems Operator, where I assumed the role of Team Leader. In this capacity, I led a detachment of 4-5 team members, providing vital support to combat and logistics units. My leadership was instrumental in achieving our mission objectives as set forth by commanding officers.


Before my military service, I enjoyed a successful career as a bricklayer, where I managed my own team in the housing industry. Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated self-motivation and leadership, setting high standards and leading by example. I excel at fostering teamwork, networking effectively, and ensuring that all team members work collaboratively to attain our shared goals.
