Summary

Eager and enthusiastic, I have adapted to and found my place in many different environments. Various work experiences have helped me grow in confidence and improve my communication skills with a wide range of people. While helping as a sports coach, training over 50 young students in competitive netball, I created a tough but enjoyable environment. Being a Busser at a large resteraunt I have worked in fast paced, busy conditions while maintaining professionalism and high standards of work. Resilient and intelligent, I am able to adapt quickly to new situations and challenging tasks.
