Summary

I am entering into my second year of Chemical and Process Engineering. I have a range of valuable work experience, ranging from hospitality to retail to volunteer roles. These positions have provided me with important skills for any job, such as excellent customer service and time management in a fast-pace environment. A little bit about me is I enjoy the outdoors; tramping, ocean swimming, and running are my favourite past-times.
