Grammar fix
draw on
use experience, knowledge, or resources
to use information, experience, knowledge, or skills that you already have in order to help you do something.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.

In my presentation, I will draw on several studies to support my argument.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: She drew on from her years of training.
Say: She drew on her years of training.
'Draw on' takes the resource directly — no 'from'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Draw on' is the natural verb for tapping experience; 'utilised my previous professional experience' is CV-speak.
