Professional Background

I'm in my final year of a Business degree at the University of Wollongong, majoring in Sports Marketing & Management and minoring in Economics and Sustainable Business. I've built experience across coaching, peer education, event marketing, and retail, and along the way finished in the top two students in four subjects with a WAM of 89.50.

What ties it all together is an interest in how people and ideas come together to create something that actually works. Whether that's a coaching session, a campaign, or an event, I like being involved from the early thinking through to the moment it lands.
