  High school diploma
  Activities and Societies: In year 12 I had the privilege of leading my school of 3500 students alongside 33 other prefects where I planned and successfully ran major events and charity movements while still balancing school work and outside of school commitments. This major commitment taught me teamwork and prioritisation. I loved every bit of it and being shortlisted in the top 5 to become school captain at such a highly regarded school made everything that much more special. Not only was this the place of my High School education, but my family for 5 years. I used this school as my opportunity facet where I got stuck into swimming, athletics, touch football, hockey, rugby sevens, cross country, coaching water polo, becoming a junior school leader, peer supporter and prefect in year 12. This school taught me so many life-long skills and has many childhood memories in my heart I will forever cherish.

  Junior marketing consultant
  Throughout this role I learnt more than any first year uni student could ever imagine. Having a professional and corporate role so early on in my degree shows my maturity and determination where I learn real life skills in the industry. I was responsible for analysing markets, researching product lines and market segments to promote a brand and get them stocked into stores (my mission was to get an imported kitchenware line on the shelves of Briscoes).

  Working alongside both a Mobile (Android and iOS) and web team (Ruby on Rails) to create value for existing market (ANZ) customers to drive retention and acquisition, all while looking further ahead to expansion into new markets and evolving to become an 'all in one' primary software provider to North Americans. Today was the day! After 2 contracts and 2 job roles (while I finished my final year of my degrees) with this incredible company it’s time for my permanent position! Very grateful to have opportunities to grow and learn with Storypark
