Security Studies & International Relations
Tertiary Student
liamanderson.org

Security studies student at Macquarie University carrying a Distinction average and a minor in International Relations. I write well, think clearly under pressure and pick up new systems fast. My coursework covers intelligence analysis, cybercrime and Australian security policy, and I apply AI tools daily to structure research and sharpen my output. I have hands-on experience in political campaigning and commercial kitchens, both of which taught me how to work hard in a team, communicate with all types of people and stay organised when things get busy. I study entirely online, which means my schedule is completely flexible. Available for any shifts including early mornings, nights, weekends and public holidays. Open to graduate pathways in security, policing and defence as well as operational work in traffic management.
