Uriah.

Year graduated?
2022


Why did you join the EEA?

I was passionate about growing a career in sports (particularly within the AFL industry). I’m an avid Bombers supporter as well, so having the opportunity to gain connections and experiences within the club and attaining a dual diploma, had me sold.

Most memorable experience from the EEA?

My favourite experience from the course would be helping the Football Department on gameday against the Gold Coast Suns and being on the ground at Marvel, kicking the footies back to the players in their warmup, as a fan it was quite a surreal experience. The most rewarding experience would be assisting Essendon’s wheelchair team at training sessions and gamedays, I gained a great appreciation for disabilities in sport and helped me build connections with each player of the team.

Future Career goals?

My future career goals are set within building greater connections from different sporting organisations and working on promoting inclusion through sports, to all communities.

Something not many people would know about you?

Although I love my sports, I actually spend most of my spare time making music and am currently working on releasing a few projects and producing beats for other artists.
