Summary

My current role at Greener by Nature is extremely varied and covers all aspects of horticulture. One day I am planning with the team, the next I am on the tools ensuring the parks and gardens are looking their best. I take great pride in my work and get extreme satisfaction when my team and I beautify our workplace. In my position at Rocke Brothers. my duties were varied. I performed office, warehousing and yard roles. One brief was to improve the safety and aesthetics of the depot and surrounds, challenging but very rewarding.

Previous to this I spent a year renovating an investment property where I performed a range of skills, resulting in a beautiful investment home in North Melbourne.

I successfully completed my VCE in 2017 at Essendon Keilor College where I was awarded the Paul Madden Perpetual Medal for outstanding leadership and sportsmanship. I achieved a strong ATAR, as well as captaining the Football team resulting in EKC winning the State School Championship. I currently play for the UHSOB Football Club, and play a leadership role in the backline, which helps my communication and team work skills.
