As a child I displayed a strong interest and talent in mathematics and science. I performed very well in my higher school leaving certificate and went on the complete a Bachelor Of Science Majoring In Chemistry at The University Of Melbourne. I then acquired a software developer role at a Gas Utility where I worked for six years – during this time I also completed a Graduate Diploma Of Computer Science. I worked for five years at a payroll processing company after that I became a high school teacher and taught for several years at high schools in the Melbourne area. At this stage of my career I hope to move back into a software developer role.
