Marketing Intern
SmartBay (China)
I decided to take advantage of my Mandarin and Marketing university majors and organised an internship in China. This was a crazy, crazy experience. SmartBay aimed to grow the usage of EBay in the region by local industry producers to sell their products. We worked hard in the office and then even harder in the bars. In China they sure know how to run a 'business meeting'...

Founder
Public Speaking and Debating Workshops
I took my 7+ years as a debater and my experience working for the NSW Department of Education to set up a workshop business in the ACT. It helped give younger students confidence, logic, and fluency in their speaking.
​
​
Debating Educator
NSW Department of Education (Arts Unit)
After a solid high school debating career, the Arts Unit asked me to periodically help teach, judge and retrain students and teachers in debating. We primarily worked across rural and regional NSW with workshop audiences of generally 100+ students.
​
​
Social Media Officer
ANU Debating Society
This one was a bit of fun. I promoted events and managed the society social media profile, but primarily my role was to make memes. The better the meme, the higher the engagement from our target audience. This led to fantastic event attendance and society engagement.
President
German Australian Students' Society
After receiving an exchange scholarship to Germany from this organisation, I stayed on to ensure the smooth running of the society. In this role I oversaw a variety of roles and completion of multiple concurrent projects, and maintained relations with German business sponsors.
​
​
Maintenance Worker
Burton & Garran Residential Hall
One sweltering summer working in maintenance at my old residential college at ANU. Here I learned basic electrical work, plumbing, carpentry, general maintenance skills, and the good old fashioned skill of lifting heavy things up and down stairs. Thanks to this job I'm generally pretty handy.

​
​
Debating Coach
ACT Debating Union
I taught a team of kickass primary students how to debate and was fairly successful - we won a competition or two.
​
​
Sales Representative
LMS Thinking
Even 5 years later I still view this as one of my defining roles. It taught me everything I know about sales, and built up my skills through the sheer grind of working door-to-door on 100% commission.
​
​
Line Cook
Charing Cross Pizza Restaurant
Working in a kitchen during the evening rush is where I truly learned how to multitask and work under pressure. Great fun.
​
​
Café Assistant
Croquembouche Cafe
My first 'real' job! I used to crack some of the macarons on purpose just so I could eat them. Shhh, don't tell anyone.
​
Founder
Tutoring business
Can you call yourself a "founder" when you're 13? I'm going to count it. This was my first real business, teaching local year 5-7 students English and Maths.
