Accomplishments

I have accomplished making my own speed table which adds to my roadworks experience whilst employed by Ventia. I was very proud of this because most of my past experience is in construction, not roadworks. Learning something new made me feel like I achieved so much and upskilled.


Whilst employed for Ventia, I became the leading hand and team leader for Mental Health Support. I was so proud of myself because I am so passionate about supporting my team no matter what they are experiencing in their personal lives. I always acknowledged that a positive mindset reflects on their work ethic and productivity.
