OBJECTIVE:
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Communications and Media studies degree at the University of Wollongong with a double major in digital communications and marketing and advertising. I am an honest individual with a record of integrity, dependability and extreme dedication. I am eager to make a contribution to broadcast media and wherever I start I hope to prove great value to my team.
PROFILE:
I have excelled academically throughout my entire education while managing several commitments simultaneously. I possess a passion for the arts, having studied vocational ballet for nine years, performing at the Sydney Opera House and placing in international competitions. I have fully immersed myself in the physically and mentally demanding sport of dance. The fortitude to compete in this highly disciplined field will undoubtedly transfer into my working ethos, once placed in the corporate world. During my gap year I worked five jobs simultaneously in order to afford the expense of a tertiary education and during university study I have undertaken a number of work experiences and internships. This typifies the discipline and determination I display in all areas of life and is a testament of the strong will I maintain in order to achieve my utmost potential.
