President of ‘SwinMates’ club in 2010 for Swinburne University.
For this role I have to be extremely organised. Many roles needed to be balanced in a limited time frame with University deadlines, my ‘SwinMates’ duties and other hospitality work. My role in ‘SwinMates’ was to interact with other local Swinburne students as well as the incoming International students. We organised suitable cultural and recreational activities for both local and incoming students around Melbourne. This requires organisation, teamwork and patience. I was also involved in recruiting local domestic students who could interact with the International students to further a better time. There were some students where English was not their first language and so we need some specialised strategies. From June 2010 to November 2010 (6 months) Bar Manager @ From 2003 to 2009 (6 years)
