Summary
I am a passionate traveller, dedicating much of my time and resources towards meeting fascinating and likeminded individuals around the world and the cultures they represent.
Closer to home, I am a keen traveller, surfer, sailor, and these passions have given me the opportunity to be able to explore lots of Australia as well as many parts of the world. I maintain a strong interest in learning about different types of people and how they go about their lives, and how this can benefit both my career and my self as a person.
I believe my passion, diverse range of skills and my left of centre thinking will greatly assist me as I look to build a meaningful career.
