Summary

I am a friendly outgoing person who enjoys taking on new challenges. I am able to get along with both younger and older people. I enjoy working with the public. I am able to use both IOS and Microsoft systems. I work well as part of a team but am also able to work on my own independently when needed. I have taken a beginners course in Te Reo Maori and would like to build on this. I have worked through behaviour management course, Down Syndrome Course and Autism Courses throughout my time working in Te Whare Ako at Geraldine High School. At present my role here is as a relief worker and this is why I am looking for a more permanent position.
