Alongside a prestigious, research focused degree, I organized and managed the funds of the local chapter of an international advocacy group, generating budgets and reports along with completing a variety of other office responsibilities such as chairing meetings and database organization. This pairs with leadership roles in distinguished hospitality venues around Melbourne to provide me with valuable and varied experience I could bring to your company.
