Summary

Currently seeking my next career move, having worked in different industries, I feel I'm well-experienced in life. I'm a natural leader with people, as I've played high-level sports my whole life, including captaining multiple football teams and captaining Australia in softball. I feel I have great people skills and great communication skills; all my previous jobs have required these skills.
