Summary

I'm a flexible and motivated professional who's committed to doing things well. I've done a bit of everything, from stocking shelves at New World to supervising students at Tolcarne Boarding house and I'm excited to keep growing.


I've worked with teams before, like when I worked at Glendhu Bay Motor Park, which taught me how to work well with others and solve problems together. I'm good at talking to people and making sure everyone knows what's going on.


When things get tough, I'm good at finding solutions. I pay attention to details and make sure my work is really good. I've learned a lot, and I keep learning with every job that I've undertaken.


I'm ready for new challenges and working with different teams. I think I'd be a good fit for the position in your team and I'd be happy to talk more about how I can help.


Thanks for considering me.

Kind regards,

Ella Perkins
