After completing high school, I began a Certificate III Mobile Plant Mechanic apprenticeship with Onboard Engineering where i worked on a variety of vessels such as the Sydney Ferries & private superyachts. During this time I gained valuable hands-on experience and developed both technical skills and personal discipline. Although I learned a great deal, I ultimately decided to pursue a different career path after realizing that my passion no longer aligned with the trade.

Key skills learnt include

• Adaptability: Comfortable adjusting to different tasks and changing priorities where needed
• Physical stamina & hands-on work: Accustomed to hard manual labour and being on my feet for long periods
• Communication skills: Learned to clearly collaborate between staff and explain technical issues to clients
• Safety awareness: Followed strict safety procedures in a workshop
• Time management: Balanced multiple tasks and priorities efficiently, ensuring work was completed within set timeframes

At HYD Advisory I attend the office each Saturday morning to clean and maintain the office space. This includes...

- vacuuming,

- cleaning desks and computer screens

- Cleaning and sanitizing toilets

- Rubbish removal

I followed a checklist to ensure all required tasks were completed to the satisfaction of the General Manager.

After 2 years as an instore / delivery driver at Domino's I earned the promotion to become a part of the management team as a shift runner. This job greatly expanded my knowledge and skills when it comes to leadership skills, dealing with people and following procedures with attention to detail. My role consists of...
