Professional poker player based in Portland, Oregon, USA.If you don't understand why the ability to play poker professionally is a strength, I don’t either... but I’d be happy to try explain.- Poker is a game of skill that combines probability (mathematics) and psychology. Over the long term, a skilled player is able to demonstrate positive financial results.- Requirements for success include treating poker as a business, ability to perform risk/reward analysis under pressure, extreme self-discipline and work ethic, excellent decision making skills, strong analytical ability, evaluating people and situations, and the commitment to continuous improvement via study and play.

Auckland, New Zealand

Adelaide, Australia

I transferred from PwC Auckland to the Adelaide (Australia) corporate tax team for a 9 month period. The Adelaide corporate tax team was much smaller than the Auckland tax team I transferred from. This made for a very different and rewarding experience.A highlight of my time was establishing and running a firm basketball team.

Auckland, New Zealand

I was a member of the Auckland corporate tax team (90-100 people) and Auckland global mobility tax team (8-10 people). As a member of the corporate tax team I assisted large multinationals and medium to small enterprises with their New Zealand tax compliance, and worked closely with firm partners and directors to provide clients with tax advice on a range of matters. Successes included managing a key global mobility client early in my career, assisting with significant tax due diligence projects and receiving overall high performer status during annual remuneration reviews.A highlight of my time was my involvement in the firm basketball and touch rugby sports teams.
