MY ABILITIES
What I can do for you
Beside full-time education, I have been actively and continually employed in a range of customer service roles for almost a decade in industries as diverse as community services to car sales. With many years of administration, hospitality and reception experience, training and education I have demonstrated the skills and adaptability to successfully work and integrate in both large and small organisations.
My education at university has been wide and far-reaching and is where I learnt that creativity is worth as much as any science or math-wired brain. I am capable of thinking critically and thinking laterally, as well as engaging in professional discussions.
I have been fortunate enough to develop the skills required of an author in this digital age. I can edit and produce a range of works including feature articles, speeches, reports, history, website content, discussion papers, creative non-fiction, and media releases. I am also fully versed on copyright and ethical issues in the public domain.
I enjoy travel and have been to countries from America to India, working and participating in volunteer programs. Due to my early introduction to different cultures I am keen to learn new languages, customs and to immerse myself in every aspect of working and living abroad.
I am an intelligent and driven individual, who adapts quickly to an environment. I have a great work ethic, am not a clock-watcher and will add value to any organisation. I am a hard worker, a fast learner and am an encouraging asset to any team. I put in the effort and achieve results in whatever I am tasked with, be it menial or complex, I believe we are all vital to running a smooth and professional operation. Even with this wide-ranging experience I’m always looking to further develop my skills in any and all fields of endeavour.
