With a diverse professional journey, I've honed a unique blend of technical expertise and sales acumen. My career commenced as an apprentice wall and floor tiler (2007-2010), a formative period that laid the groundwork for my progression to a qualified tiler, in which I was leading a crew of tilers through various high-end waterproofing and tiling projects.In my commitment to continuous improvement, I embarked on a significant personal and professional challenge once I had completed my apprenticeship. While working full-time as a qualified tiler, I dedicated myself to furthering my education. Balancing the demands of a challenging profession and a commitment to personal growth, I pursued a Bachelor of Accounting at La Trobe University from 2013 to 2016. This period was marked by determination, demonstrating my ability to manage competing priorities and excel in both realms.Transitioning into sales, I served as a Sales Consultant at Beaumont Tiles (2016-2017), refining my skills in client engagement and relationship building. This experience set the stage for my subsequent role as Owner/Director of a Tiling company, where I managed operations and significantly contributed to business growth.As a Technical Services Representative at LATICRETE Australia, I specialise in providing expert guidance on construction materials, focusing on wall and floor tiling and waterproofing solutions. Leveraging my technical background, I bridge the gap between intricate product details and customer requirements.Within the dynamic environment of a global leader in construction materials at LATICRETE, I've played a role in ensuring that our customers receive top-notch technical support, in all areas of wall and floor tiling methodologies and waterproofing solutions. This includes in-depth consultations, on-site troubleshooting, and comprehensive training sessions.Complementing my professional journey, my Bachelor of Accounting has enriched my analytical and strategic thinking skills, enhancing my ability to navigate complex challenges.With a proven track record in both technical and sales domains, I thrive on challenges, continuously seek growth opportunities, and am passionate about contributing to the tiling and waterproofing industry.
