What did you hope to gain from completing this course?
With an interest in sport, particularly women’s football, my goal was always to achieve full time employment in the Sport & Recreation industry.  I hoped that by completing the Diploma in Sport & Recreation, it would contribute to a career in Sport.

What did you enjoy about the course?
Whilst undertaking this course, the practical experiences I was involved in and or managed was an enjoyable successfully run leadership camp for Swinburne sport students

2008 Recreation Program in Wantirna – worked closely with SSAA to deliver these programs

What are you doing now?
In January 2009, I was asked by AFL’s Female Development Manager Chyloe Kurdas if I would be interested in undertaking a position at the AFL as a Female Development Officer- working 2 days a week, which I accepted. I was the only applicant who was offered this job. I believed this would be a great experience for me, as well as it would be of an assistance to me  in the future when I start looking for full time employment in the industry.
