A profession that involves working with children, & developing young minds is without a doubt my deepest passion.

I have an extensive history of volunteer work, including many years of assisting in organized sports, coaching children, convening tournaments, camps and maintaining sports fields. I have also worked in the field of Childcare as a camp coordinator 5+ years & it has been a life lasting experiences that I continue to reflect on.

My time mentoring children & young adults, while growing as an adult myself has taught me many life lessons. Babysitting my cousins back home in Canada is some I greatly miss. During my latest experiences in Australia, I worked in face to face sales supporting many different charities while working for a few different marketing companies. This experience helped me evolve my people skills extensively. I am currently studying a Diploma of Mental Health at Tafe University on the Gold Coast campus. So far this has been a very rewarding course giving me skills & knowledge that can be used in all working environment. Next year I will be looking to complete my Bachelors Degree in Education through an exchange program at either Griffith or Southern Cross University. Australia has become my home, it is a wonderful place for me to apply my communication & leadership skills to a field that creates positive change. I want to apply my current knowledge within an atmosphere that allows me to continue to grow individually as well as help others grow, by utilizing my collegiate, university, and community experiences. One of my greatest qualities is my ambition; one of my biggest beliefs is that thinking realistically is the most common path to mediocrity. We must all develop our own visionary sense of drive in life.
