Since I was young, I have understood the importance of hard work and earning your keep. At the tender age of 10, I embarked on my first endeavor and began delivering newspapers on my trusty bicycle before school each morning. As a teenager, I found employment in the hospitality industry, working weekends and igniting my aspiration to pursue a career as a chef.After finishing Year 11, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a professional Chef. At 17, I secured a 4-year Chef's apprenticeship and moved to Echuca. I completed the apprenticeship and obtained the necessary qualifications. Despite six years in the Hospitality industry, I decided to leave.I undertook a Lifeguard course to attain the necessary qualifications, which subsequently opened doors for me to oversee operations at a local swimming pool in Heathcote during the summer months.However, due to limited opportunities in lifeguarding, I decided to pursue employment that aligns with my passion for cars.I began my career in the motor trade as a new car sales cadet at Toyota. Throughout my 17-year journey, I have experienced both successes and challenges in various roles, including new car sales, fleet sales, new car sales manager, and New Vehicle Stock control manager. For a decade, I dedicated myself to becoming one of the top stock controllers in the Toyota dealer network. As time went on, my responsibilities expanded to include pre-delivery coordination and vehicle registrations.I decided to transition my career after dedicating 18 years of service to Toyota. My desire to expand my expertise in the automotive industry led me to join Harrison 4WD. However, over time, I felt a strong urge to explore new professional avenues. I am now incredibly excited about my role at Outdoor Steel Solutions Bendigo (Ranbuild). Initially, I started as a construction coordinator and within just 17 months, I was promoted to the esteemed position of Construction Manager which I humbly hold to this day.
