Summary

I am a driven employee with a background in education, leadership and management. I take great pride in my work ethic; striving to produce outcomes to a high standard, whilst building positive relationships with coworkers. I have worked in public facing roles over the past 15 years where I build good rapport with others and use this to benefit outcomes for all stakeholders. My strong interpersonal skills and ability to communicate across a variety of modes (face-to-face, email, over the phone) has been key to this. I am computer literate and offer good skills in using IT. Beyond this, I am adaptable and a keen learner, and open to applying my skillset to new modes of employment.
