      Jan 2011 - Apr 2018
      Traveler Customer Service Roles

      A mish-mash of roles that taught me valuable lessons. • I endured all day controlling traffic on the 50 deg+ tarmac on Sydney's hottest ever day in 2013. • Instructed little skiers patiently through their first turns in California. • Coached kids and terrified adults through an adrenaline ropes course in Wyoming. • Worked for a not-for-profit to raise funds for other deserving causes drawing on my courage and emotional resilience. • Worked and played as a bartender/waiter in many a pub/restaurant brewery to fuel my skiing and paragliding adventures. Driven by my passion for adventure sports these roles provided ready cash and shaped my work-ethic, teamwork and stress-management skills. Show less

      Trainee Vessel Manager

      Assigned to produce the dry dock specifications (condition report) for two active vessels operating in Australian waters. Worked and communicated with a broad range of personnel, from vessel managers to ship engineers and able seaman. I developed time and data management skills in order to input the large amounts of information that I developed into the final report. I finished at Teekay, with the dry dock specifications approved by the Fleet Manager and a great relationship with all office and ship staff. Show less
