years of professional experience
I am a practical, hands-on person who enjoys hard work and takes pride in doing things properly. I bring a positive attitude to everything I do and stay calm and focused, even in busy or high-pressure environments. My background includes experience in hotel and motel housekeeping, along with many years in farming, particularly in dry stock and dairy. I am passionate about both industries and have built a strong base of knowledge in each. I am also open to new opportunities where I can continue learning, growing, and applying my skills in a new setting.
