Elise R. Kennett BP M.P.H (Currently a Master of Human Resources Management student at RMIT)
I am a fun and friendly person who is committed to working hard. I am a strategic and critical thinker with strong research skills and empathy. I have extensive leadership as well as teamwork experience - I work well under pressure, have strong communication skills and am very easy to get along with. I am an extremely fast learner and a life-long high achiever. Art has always been a fun thing for me to do growing up, it came naturally.
I am a self-taught artistand have been oil painting for 13 years, almost on a daily basis for a number of those years. I have most recently been working on my portraiture skills as realism is difficult for me - I have been painting abstract and surreal since I was 2. I am significantly good at abstract sketches in charcoal however I find oil painting much more expressive and more enjoyable. I have a number of paintings for sale of which I would not usually sell as I enjoy my own artwork, however, as a full-time post-graduate student I really need the finances, and I have about 80 in storage anyway.

Following graduating as school captain in 2011, I was accepted into the Early Achievers Program (EAP) into Australian Catholic University.
I completed VET Dance as an Australian Ballet School student at Melbourne Ballet Company/Gay Wightman School of Ballet; Completing all of my exams with Honors, levels beginners test to Advanced. I participated in Scouts Australia from the age of 4 to 13. I competed in national level swimming; State level cross-country skiing; and in my Masters of Public Health at Monash University, I participated in the Varsity field hockey team, where I received the Green and Gold medal/Australian merit team as a goalkeeper at the Australian University Games.

I have been fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to change careers/develop further from professions in my life so far. These decisions - required additional education - from Paramedicine into population health research and strategy (public health), and into my found passion (in addition to art), Business in the professional area of Human Resources Management.
