on their Radio show on a regular basis. As a part of my role as a junior editor, I am responsible for helping to edit and publish any articles submitted by our writers.

two different station’s control boards.
Public Relations Activations, Elite Sports Properties, 2013/2014 Working for Elite Sports Properties, I took part in P.R activations which included
giving away free merchandise, helping to organise competitions and promote specific brands at different cricket games at Adelaide Oval.
Green Keeper, Flagstaff Hill Golf Course, 2010 In 2010 I undertook a week of work experience at Flagstaff Hill Golf Course as a
Green keeper. This included such tasks as mowing grass, using a whipper snipper, painting, roofing a pergola, emptying bins and other general maintenance.
Activities/ Volunteer Roles:
As a member of a small country town community I pride myself in getting involved in and volunteering for local sporting clubs. Over the past decade I have been lucky enough to be involved in the Meadows Football Club, Meadows Basketball Club and Meadows Cricket Club as a player, coach and in a number of different volunteering roles. My heavy involvement in junior cricket has also resulted in me getting the job of coaching some of the Hills Cricket Associations most talented players against the best players from other associations. During my time at high school I was regularly a part of extra-curricular activities, and this was exemplified in year 12 when I was voted senior school captain by my fellow students and I was also chosen to be a sports day house captain by the teachers.

Personal Attributes:
LoyaltyLoyalty is a major attribute that I have to offer potential employers. I am the kind of person that will stick by someone through thick and thin and I will finish something before I move on to other tasks.
ReliableThrough my time of playing, coaching and volunteering at sporting clubs I have developed my reliability and I can be trusted to complete a task when asked or be at a certain place by a certain time.
OrganisationCoaching junior sports has forced me to vastly improve my organisation skills because so many people rely on me to be ready to coach and have a particular plan in place and have any equipment that I might need ready to go at my disposal.
ResponsibleBeing responsible for large groups of people during my coaching means that I have to be reliable for the kids and parents to make sure I get to games and trainings on time. When I parent leaves their child under my supervision I always make sure that they stay safe and healthy until their parents return to pick them up. I have also taken on a number of different responsibilities as a cricket club committee member including being a part of the committee for four years and being vice-president of the club at just the age of 19.
CommunicationThrough my various volunteer roles I have become accustomed to communicating with a men and women from a number of different age groups. I believe this will make me a valuable employee because I will be able to deal with people in a mature way.

LeadershipWhile I have coached a number of different sporting teams, I have also captained a number of the teams along with being a school captain in year 12. This means that I know how to take charge of large groups of people and direct them in a positive and successful manner.
InitiativeAs a budding journalist I know that initiative is an important attribute and I believe I have it. To help break into the industry of the media, I created my very own website that showcases my different skills and articles that I have written, sort of like an online portfolio.
