Summary
I am currently seeking part time or casual work in conjunction to studying a Bachelor of Social Work with Edith Cowan University. I am passionate about working with people of all diversities and enjoy a fast-paced environment.
My studies and work history have equipped me with skills which enable me to work well alongside people and have strong problem-solving skills. I am extremely adaptable and given my extensive experience with office administration I believe I can pick up new systems and programs easily.
I am a reliable and relatable person who works well in a team environment and am eager to get back into the workplace after taking a brief period of maternity leave this year.
