“Poll was my university lecturer during my bachelor degree (2004-2007) who soon became my professional mentor. Poll’s exceptional presentation skills intrigued me to learn more about Tourism Studies and were integral to me deciding to finish the course. The extra support offered by Poll is what makes the difference as he goes above and beyond to support his students wherever possible; this was most evident in a very challenging subject where Poll supported me in building a remarkable 1st class Tourism Strategy for Sydney Olympic Park – which was presented to the organisation’s executions. This being my first ever-proper end to professional business presentation – Poll’s support assisted me in ultimately overcoming fears of public speaking. I am so grateful Poll has also mentored me over the past 6 years which has proved vital in not only pursing my MBA Executive course but assisting me with my career plan to move into General/Senior Management. In addition, Poll’s innovative nature and unlimited access to resources has been critical to success over the past several years in directing educational trails. On a personal level, we went to meditation classes together including one with His Holiness Dalai Lama. The latest one was the 10-day Vipassana Course at the end of the year 2012 where I have quitted smoking since then. These spiritual experiences with him have been powerful moments. I will never forget those awakening peaceful times that have changed my life to be who I am today.”
