Summary

I am driven, energetic, and excellent at quickly picking up new skills. My background in teaching dance to ages ranging from preschool to senior citizens provides me with a wide range of people skills. I thoroughly enjoy working in a collaborative environment whilst also being capable of independent work. I have dedicated the past 5 years to studying for a conjoint degree at Victoria University and hope to start applying my education in a real-world context. I aim to be a friendly, upbeat and a dedicated addition to any job opportunity.
