Summary
I have been self-employed as a beauty therapist for many years before beginning my bachelor’s degree, which has allowed me to develop strong communication, client service, and time management skills. While my self-employment background has limited my professional references, I am more than happy to provide personal and character references upon request. As a mother of seven children and four grandchildren, I am a highly organised and dedicated individual, accustomed to managing multiple responsibilities and balancing competing priorities. My family recently relocated to Australia in early 2024, and we completed an extensive trip around the coast. We have now settled in Rochedale South, where we are excited to start this next chapter of our lives. My husband's family is based in Brisbane, and we have chosen to settle here to spend quality time with them. I am eager to bring my skills, dedication, and strong work ethic to your team and contribute meaningfully to the role.
