Professional Profile
Throughout my career I have undertaken a rather interesting journey. The pursuit of sporting goals resulted in my early departure from High School and subsequent correspondence University study. I then started my own Web Design business to support my studies and sporting goals. This was all at the age of 15. Evidently, these factors required me to develop a strong sense of commitment and determination that I believe to be of value in all aspects of my life and work.
Most of my works has required me to be a “jack of all trades,” balancing various technical skills and cross-pollinating skills across traditionally separate occupations. For example, at U@MQ Limited, I was simultaneously developing an ecommerce strategy whilst web programming, researching, designing collateral, writing copy specifically for web and print and following leads for potential revenue.
During my time at my last job at the Summer Publishing Workshops I was involved in administrative functions that included book keeping, liaising travel arrangements, reporting, research and data collection and reporting as well as general administration, assistance and event management.
I have travelled Australia and across the globe for my studies, sporting, life and work ambitions. Recently I moved to Alexandria from Vancouver (Canada) where I was marketing and co-facilitating one of the most prominent series of professional development workshops for the publishing industry.
Having recently completed my Honours thesis and beginning the process of further part-time postgraduate studies (MA or PhD), I am hoping to work locally in the CBD so that I can devote more time to my career and continue with my post-graduate studies (part time).
During my time as a professional and during my studies I have developed skills in marketing, public relations, event management, social networking, communications, graphic arts, and desktop publishing. I hand code my websites and have full proficiency with all versions of the Adobe Creative Suite. In my time working in marketing and in my studies I have been able to demonstrate a superior ability in writing high-quality copy.
As part of my web design consulting work I have had to develop my negotiation skills, although I am ever mindful of the need for an equitable contract with a win-win outcome for all parties. I have had close dealings with the press and also have had articles published on multiple occasions. Personally, I take pride in my critical thinking, problem solving and ability to work independently.
I have the ability to work in a self-supervisory, multi-task environment within a clear timeline. Most of my career has been in an office or consulting environment that has fostered experience with administration, databases and communications. I have also organised many social events for school, university, sporting clubs and non-profits. Whilst working at universities I have also provided technical support, answered customers queries and processed customer feedback.
