Highly disciplined and adaptable professional with a strong work ethic forged during a gap year with the Royal Australian Navy as a General Mariner Sailor. I am currently studying for my Diploma of Nursing and am actively preparing to rejoin the Defence Force as a medic, with a goal of transitioning into the Air Force. I am seeking a role as a Support Worker to apply my developing skills and gain valuable, hands-on experience within the healthcare sector.

I am a hard-working individual, driven by enthusiasm and a positive attitude toward new challenges. Prior to my time in defence, I spent four years working during high school and was awarded the Betty's Best Regional Worker, showcasing my strong work ethic. As a Gaming Attendant at Norths Leagues and Services Club and a current Reservist with the Royal Australian Navy, I maintain a solution-oriented mindset to successfully overcome obstacles and setbacks.

My experience in team sports like AFL and Netball demonstrates my leadership, teamwork, and adaptability. I have coached two netball teams and have represented Fiji, Brisbane, and the Australian Defence Force NSW and Navy. Recognized with awards like Best and Fairest, I contributed to winning the State Championship in AFL, underscoring the value of perseverance and collaboration in achieving goals.
