About Me

I am a project manager and always have been at heart. I have specialised in project management from the University of Central Queensland (CQU). I am passionate about working with talented individuals and teams to increase my knowledge and expertise. I am currently working for HDE Group and looking forward to realising my true potential. I am constantly learning new skills. For better or worse, this also includes skills outside my career as I truly believe in soft and technical skills that a project manager should have to succeed in any project.
