"The skills I developed at ACU led me into an industry that I'm passionate about, which I hope encourages others to pursue careers they're enthusiastic about. Aside from the literal contribution I have in developing athletes who are ready to perform at their optimum, working in elite sport allows me to have a presence and a voice in decisions that hopefully have a positive impact on the community."
