I am a postgraduate student reading for Master of Information Systems specialising in Business Analytics at Deakin University. I have past experience working as a business intelligence analyst in the telecommunications industry.
I possess an entrepreneurial mindset and working on creating a startup of my own via the skills learnt via participating in an 'Startup Ideation Internship' offered by Spark Deakin. I am trained to use the modern skills of design thinking and lean startup to find the most innovative and feasible solution to the problem that I am most passionate about.
I am thriving for constant self growth and personality development and engage in different activities that supports me with building my soft skills. Some of these activities include and are not limited to:
Being a post graduate student mentor at Deakin University who supports new students with their transition to university life where I improve my leadership and communication skills.
Working as a casual retail sales associate at the MYER-Sunglass Hut, where I improve my communication and problem solving skills.
Student ambassador at the Global Entrepreneurship Week hosted by Spark Deakin.
I am passionate about becoming a public speaker that makes a positive impact in the world. I also enjoy singing and was a chorister for 5+ years.
I am looking forward to use my evolving technical and personal skills set with dedication to support solve problems of any company that I work for.
