Summary
With over three years of experience, including a promotion to supervisor, I have improved my capacity to oversee store operations and guarantee satisfied customers. In addition to handling money management, protecting the store, and supervising daily operations, my duties also include helping in the café, butcher, or deli to ensure seamless operations throughout the establishment. I have also developed leadership, patience, and communication skills via my volunteer primary school teacher's assistant and dance teacher assisting. This has made me flexible and able to create a productive, happy work atmosphere.
I have my provisional 2 license and a volunteer card for working with vulnerable people. This is all to assist in my future goal of getting my bachelor's degree in teaching at UTAS.

- I started off as a junior employee three years ago, where I was responsible for tasks such as putting flowers away, serving customers, answering questions, and maintaining cleanliness by cleaning tables and keeping the store tidy. Over time, I developed a strong understanding of the store's operations and customer service. Over a year ago, I was promoted to supervisor, taking on additional responsibilities and overseeing the store's regular activities. My duties now include locking up the shop, setting alarms, and ensuring the store is secure, with access to the safe for cash management. In addition, I am in charge of keeping stock precise and counting cash registers. I have accumulated experience working in a variety of areas over the past year, such as café, butcher, and deli. I can now assist any department when necessary because I am skilled in all areas. I am also cross-trained in the deli, so when I am not the supervisor, I am doing rostered deli shifts.

- As a volunteer teacher's assistant at a primary school, I helped children with creative projects, Christmas craft preparation, and making sure they had the supplies they needed to finish their work. This position demanded a lot of patience because I assisted students at every step and encouraged them to express their creativity while keeping the environment peaceful and positive. I also did a week-long work experience in grade 10 (2022), which allowed me to have practical experience in the kindergarten and physical education departments. Assisting with activities and helping teachers manage classroom dynamics, I engaged with kids from all year groups in various contexts. Effective communication skills, flexibility, and the capacity to collaborate with a varied group of kids were all developed as a result of this experience.

- As a Dance Teacher Assistant, I worked closely with young children to help them develop essential dance skills and learn routines. In order to ensure that every child understood the movements, along with the techniques, and to promote their physical and creative development, it was my responsibility to offer them individualized guidance and support. I was in charge of helping the teacher create lesson plans and keeping the atmosphere upbeat and supportive. I had to modify my strategy to fit the needs of each child, providing individualized assistance and encouragement, which took a lot of patience and initiative. My main goal was to assist students in becoming more confident while making sure they had fun learning and improving their dancing abilities.
