Donna Veldkamp
Auckland,Avondale
Summary
I am a solid team player with a calm and positive demeanour and proven skills in establishing a rapport with colleagues and with families using our service.
I bring excellent skills in oral and written communication, and in listening and problem solving.
My years in early childhood education have given me an array of transferrable skills such as an ability to think quickly, an appreciation for the needs of a diverse range of peoples, a willingness to work with others to find solutions and best practice, and an awareness of the role of policies and procedures.
