Anyone whoโs chatted to me in the last few years will know my dream job is to be a Graphic Designer in the AFL, or professional sport industry.
So, over the last few months, Iโve taken up the opportunity to enrol in a program, SportsGrad, to help me take the best steps to enter the sport industry.
On Thursday night in Melbourne, and Tuesday night last week in Adelaide, I attended SportsGrad meetups, along with Cam Dixon, to improve my networking.
My main thought through this? Iโve got nothing to lose. And itโs exactly true. I met so many people, fellow SportsGrad Cohort members or otherwise, it was so nice to meet people in real life rather than just over a computer screen.
The best part though? Meeting and catching up with my new mentor Caitlin, from Tennis Australia. We had such a great chat about everything design, and just how similar some of our thoughts are! It puts me at ease knowing thereโs someone I can look up to, in the industry, and know sheโs got my back for any incoming questions.
Iโve walked away from the last fortnight with so many new ideas, and ways I can make the most of my skills to showcase to everyone. Keep your eyes peeled ๐
