Summary
I'm an extremely hardworking, high spirited and passionate individual looking for a short term role. I'm looking to use my existing skills and build on them helping to achieve goals and projects.
I'm committed to waste reduction, recycling and the effective use of resources. I've always been aware of the importance that I follow health, safety and wellbeing procedures to protect myself and others.
I have gained excellent people skills and am able to quickly adapt to new situations and accommodate to individual's needs. Equally effective working as part of a team and independently. My role as a Household Personal Assistant has allowed me to extend my knowledge and skills; I completed a variety of tasks always with the highest attention to detail even under time pressures.

Additional Information
I've just started my 2-year working holiday visa in New Zealand. I'm from a beautiful part of the United Kingdom just outside of the Peak District National Park which I loved exploring and photographing. I'm very enthusiastic, creative and sporty and very much enjoy actives that allow me to be surrounded by nature. I'm extremely passionate about our natural world and all that lives within it. Last year I was in Southeast Asia for 3 months where I took part in a two-week program doing environmental conservation and construction; the work I did included litter picking, planting mangroves and painting a local school in Hua Hin, Thailand. I love connecting with people and am excited to learn new skills and better myself as I'm exploring this beautiful country.
