I've always enjoyed a challenge. That's why I applied to work at Treasury. In 2010, I completed a degree in commerce and economics, then moved on to do a gradual program. When I heard about the opportunity to work across a diverse range of policy issues at Treasury, moving to work there was an obvious choice. It's not just about economics and budgeting. I've been here for three and a half years now and I've worked on a number of issues from small business tax, foreign investment and trade policy. Through a lot of the work I've done, I've had a really good opportunity to work with so many different people within the department externally. I've been proud to work on a great range of highly topical and interesting policies that have given me a whole of government perspective on how these issues fit into the budget as well as Australian and global economy. Looking back have come a long way in a short time. And with what I've learned, I know I'll be ready to take on whatever comes next.
