I am a certificate 4 dispensary technician and i have worked in pharmacy for over 20 years, starting in 1997 until 2018 with a few short breaks in between for maternity leave and coming back to pharmacy in December 2019 which i am still currently employed.

During my break from pharmacy i moved to Glenden to be closer to my partner who was working at Newlands mine, in the time i was living in Glenden i was employed at Blackdown Accommodation Services as an administration Assistant, which i really enjoyed.
