Overview
I am a passionate creative, who is wholly focused on fulfilling my life long dream of working in the design and artistic field. I offer a range of individual creative skills, specifically original and unique concept development and high quality execution. I am dedicated to continuous learning to develop my skills and knowledge. I love working collaboratively with others creatives, researching, liaising with other industry specialists, coordinating and overseeing projects. I revel in the fantastic sense of community within the Illawarra region, engaging the local community and helping others.
I bring to the table a vast array of experience, skill, and qualifications from my 25 year plus career in the Australian Defence Force (ADF) / Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). I was employed in a range of fields including: engineering, maintenance, information systems, facilities, logistics, training, contracting, safety, personnel, organisational, project and risk management. I have undertaken a myriad of roles covering strategic, operational, support and tactical levels. I have worked with both old and new technology. My time in the ADF instilled in me the importance of people, community, service and making a difference where it matters most. The transport arm, where I worked, were always first in and last out for many community, humanitarian, disaster assistance, peace keeping and warlike operations.
My military experience combined with creative abilities offers a unique blend to any creative industry clients and/or employers.
