Summary

I have worked as a manager part time for the past 4 years in hospitality while studying my degree of Occupational Therapy with AUT. I graduated with a Bachelor of Health Science - Occupational Therapy in March 2023. I currently hold a Managers Certificate and Liquor Controller License also. I have been on maternity leave since Feburary 2023 as I had my daughter shortly after graduating. I am ready to enter the work field again as my maternity leave comes to an end, and excited to enter a different work environment compared to my well known background of hospitality and uncover a new pathway. I consider myself to be very hard working, punctual, responsible, fair and committed with any role given to me. I have gained many skills with my past work experience and always love learning new skills on the job to expand my knowledge further. I have managed staff and recently worked in the health industry doing work experience towards my occupational therapy degree. This allowed me to be an assistant and learn thoroughly the role I am working towards and gain new skills and experiences.
