• 2005-2006 - English teacher - GDYNIA, POLAND. I was employed as a contractor by Siesta to provide English tuition, business English lessons and business consulting on minor projects, to a diverse range of students and clients. I have worked with students as young as twelve to senior corporate executives from banking and finance disciplines. I successfully developed a practical and simple method of teaching that students enjoyed and learnt effectively from. I used my own resources to develop and plan lessons, such as course books from Cambridge University Press, the Internet and audio and retain a preference for Cambridge based vocabulary, grammar and or testing material. I prepared students for examinations such as CAE and FCE and I am flexible in being able to teach American English or British English, (as I come from Australia), which is predominantly British English and worked for a US software company for four years. Opportunities arose to provide additional services to clients, such as contract consulting, language editing consulting within business contracts for Doradca and reviewing XML documentation prior to web publication for companies such as Compuware in Gdansk.


• 2004-2005 - Property management/Full-time study/Professional investing - I resigned from BEA Systems to undertake full-time study and complete my Masters Degree in Technology Management. My final thesis was titled "e-metrics". During my time as a student, I managed three properties in Brisbane to the value of $1,000,000 AUD. I renovated all three properties and sold two prior to departing Australia to complete the final component of my Masters Degree program in Europe. The final component was to complete a European Studies Programme with the University of Innsbruck, Austria in January 2005. Lectures were undertaken in Prague, Berlin, Vienna and Innsbruck. I graduated from the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia with a Master of Technology Management Degree, (specialising in E-Business) in August 2005.


• 2000-2004 - BEA Systems - At BEA, my main role was a customer support contracts manager. I liaised regularly with BEA's technical teams locally and internationally and with partners and customers across Australia and New Zealand. I have worked at all levels within BEA to resolve issues and identify solutions. I managed revenue from support contracts for over 150 of BEA's enterprise customers and partners throughout Australia and New Zealand in excess of $6.4 million (AUD), as at April 2004. I also worked with BEA education to market technical courses for BEA developers and co-ordinate course schedules and attendance programmes. In addition, I performed various consulting and marketing services to BEA and customers such as Optus and Virgin Mobile.


• 1997-2000 - Leading Solutions - Pre/Post sales support and project management, including the development and preparation of bids and proposals for IT services and infrastructure. I designed and advised on technical strategies for corporate accounts. In addition, I monitored and co-ordinated the implementation of projects between mostly Leading Solution engineers, Hewlett-Packard, Cisco and Microsoft.
