Stevie Symes
Christchurch
Summary
I'm a friendly, outgoing individual with a knack for connecting with people. I'm not afraid to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges because I'm a quick learner and genuinely enjoy meeting new people. Thanks to my experience in both hospitality, retail, and my time as a support worker at, I've become really good at handling pressure, juggling tasks, and growing more confident in public interactions. These roles have also taught me the importance of teamwork, adaptability, and being open to change. One of my biggest passions is people, which is why I decided to pursue a Bachelor's in Social Work at ARA University. I'm an empathetic, kind-hearted, and resilient person by nature, and I'm committed to using these qualities to make a positive impact on people's lives and build lasting connections within our communities
