He said that he started his career working as a sales rep and in the hospitality industry before completing STEPS in 1996.

Mr Amedee then had the confidence to tackle a combined Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Education (Secondary) program and graduated at the end of 2000.

He has now developed his confidence to the point where he is considering working in China or the Philippines next year.
