Summary

In all of my employment positions I have consistently maintained positive relationships with my colleagues and also customers. I have worked with a diverse range of people and am able to interact positively with a broad range of personalities, and within and across teams.

I am able to provide advice and make decisions quickly and confidently. I work efficiently in high pressure environments. I am a competent professional and highly effective communicator and I have proven myself to be a fast learner with an ability to think strategically.

I act with personal, moral and professional integrity at all times.

I spent 17 years in the Primary Education sector, working in a variety of staff teams including leadership roles. I led staff professional development in several curriculum areas and was responsible for the education and well-being of up to 25 children on a day to day basis.

After working in several other fields, in March last year, I was appointed the position of Resource Management Implementation Support Officer at Environment Canterbury where I have been learning many new skills around local environmental issues and relevant legislation.
