Summary

I was previously an ASO, and my years at AVSEC have enabled me to build a sound knowledge of systems and procedures. I have endeavoured to maintained a professional and committed attitude to the industry, whilst within keeping of the core values.

I have life skill sets along with those accrued with my years at AVSEC.

I have completed several Smart-Way courses along with obtaining NZQA 4098 Unit Standard. Also completed the Peace Course (FIS) Forensic Interview Solutions.

I was previously a Control Room Officer but lost this skill when I was promoted to Team Leader. As a CRO it was required that you were competent in radio etiquette and entering all calls be via phone or radio into a electronic log which was referred as a living document which was also auditable.

I am now looking to work closer to home while using the skills I have gained from prior work to smoothly transition to a new role.
