PERSONAL SUMMARY

I truly believe that in order to get the most out of life, you have to take chances. In order to live this, I have recently moved to Canada from my native New Zealand and am seeking employment in media and entertainment(I also play Ice Hockey!)

I have a wide range of experience in this area: I am a (semi) established TV personality in New Zealand, having a regular slot on a popular breakfast programme, and have experience in sales, branding and production work, particularly in radio.

CORE COMPETENCIES

Through my jobs and study I have worked to develop:

• An understanding of the many facets of a successful brand; • Skills to move from a creative space into execution; • The ability to manage a team; and • A holistic overview of media as an industry.
