I had the opportunity to travel on domestic and international study trips as part of my degree. I strongly believe these trips opened doors for me and furthered my career. The experiences gave me a competitive advantage in the market and a deeper understanding that went beyond Australia’s tax system.

My favourite part of my job is working closely with notable businesses throughout WA, Australia and globally. It’s a challenging role, I’m constantly pushed to be the best I can be, but my degree has set me up to be successful here.
