RYAN
I began working at Coles in the Deli, a vital job that was the foundation for my social abilities and my drive to work as hard as possible. Through this experience I have strengthened my leadership skills and ability to adapt within a fast paced environment. I also worked as a Ski Technician in Jindabyne, NSW, for a snow season. The experience of moving out of home as a young adult has reinforced my independence and resilience, and given me vital life experience. I am currently studying at university to become a secondary education teacher, with a major in Design and Technology, and a minor in Outdoor Education. Within my years of study I have developed a strong passion for educating others, and being a positive role model and mentor for students' success.
I really love Support Work due to the potential to have a genuine positive impact on somebody's life, helping guide people to reach their goals. I also love how personal the work is, to be able to build real relationships face-to-face with people is something quite special and rare to find within many jobs.
I am an avid outdoorsman, I really enjoy hiking/camping, kayaking, and spending as much time outside as possible. I also play Basketball with my best friends from highschool which enables me to keep active and create great memories with people who play a significant role in my life.
