Summary

Adept at making quick, accurate decisions, I enhanced game quality and sportsmanship as an Umpire at Cricket NSW and as a Referee with North Sydney District Rugby League Referees Association. My in-depth rule knowledge and assertiveness, coupled with proficiency in problem solving and conflict resolution, consistently ensured efficient and impartial game management, earning respect from players, parents and coaches alike.

I have moderated and commentated several passion projects that I have not included within this resume as they are not official employment, lending my voice and my brain to enhance the knowledge and enjoyment of all participants involved.
