Ambitious and hardworking individual with a Master's in Regional & Urban Planning and a Bachelor's in City Planning & Environmental Policy. I have a strong interest in smart cities, urban design and sustainability, with expertise in GIS and urban design techniques. Since completing my Master's I have travelled and worked in Australia which provided diverse experiences, from pushing beyond my comfort zone on a remote farm to excelling in sales across a number of roles, where I consistently exceeded targets, delivered exceptional customer service and built strong client relationships. I am now looking for a challenging opportunity where I can continuing to develop my expertise working in industry.

I have a diverse background in sales, urban planning and content creation, equipping me with strong project management and communication skills. As an Assistant Town Planner intern, I prepared planning appraisals for various projects, ensuring compliance with Victoria Planning Legislation and contributing to key initiatives.

In my role with the Commerce and Economic Society, I organised large-scale events and coordinated networking opportunities, enhancing my organisational and leadership abilities. As a Sales Specialist, and Consultant for non-profit organisations, I consistently exceeded targets and achieved an average performance of 134%. I developed valuable negotiation and customer engagement skills, which enabled me to provide customised solutions for clients and manage the customer onboarding process effectively.

Additionally, I worked with a software startup, creating content for a Microsoft enablement platform, where I gained expertise in Microsoft Office and delivered virtual training. Overall, my experiences reflect my commitment to fostering sustainable urban development, engaging effectively with stakeholders, and pursuing continuous self-improvement.

I hold a Master’s in Regional & Urban Planning and a Bachelor’s in City Planning & Environmental Policy. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in urban development, sustainability, and policy analysis. During my studies, I focused on the interplay between urban spaces and community needs, which culminated in my thesis, contributing to a published article in Urban Design International. My education has not only deepened my knowledge of planning principles but has also inspired my passion for promoting sustainable practices in urban design.
