Key Achievements Skills Traits
- Most of my past and current jobs (working for someone/company), I've been offered roles with greater levels of responsibility within the first month. I'm a visual and kinesthetic learner; I pick up on tasks and requirements very quickly, plus I am known for my remarkable observational and resourcefulness skills.
- Highly adaptable to any type of terrain, environment and rapid change due to varied life experiences.
- Using power tools since I was 12 years old e.g. drills, saws, petrol post drivers, angle grinders etc.
- My passion for mowing lawns & gardening - since the age of eight - has since developed into a sole trader/independent business I started in 2016, through word of mouth only (no advertising needed).
- Drawing from my own experiences of extreme hardship, combined with my great work ethic, I've become the compassionate & driven person I am to this day. Hence why I'm enrolled in Youth Work.
- Pronounced skills in: time management, planning, networking, researching, re-purposing, & routine.
- Enjoy responding to the needs of my external environment and then implement initiative re: solutions.
