Brodie Vallence
Padbury,WA
Summary
My career has had a strong focus on management and administration, and ensuring procedures and policies are designed to guarantee all industry specific regulations are met in the most streamline manner. I have a proven track record for opening and managing lines of communication, while developing new and innovative procedures that support the efficient achievement of business goals.
My ability to create simple to follow and easy to execute procedures has seen vast improvements in client’s quality of work. I have been able to develop complex project tracking and management platforms that handle a vast amount of information yet remain easy to use and interpret via Excel, Monday.com and Asana. I have a passion for junior development in sporting and education pursuits and believe my experience working with and alongside the Department of Education would make me a valuable asset to any school’s administration team.
