Hi, I’m
CAROLYN O'CONNOR
BROKEN HILL,NSW
Summary
Having been raised on a cattle station in Queensland, I dedicated eight years to contract mustering across the Northern Territory and Queensland. In 2012, I transitioned to a sheep station near Tibooburra, NSW, with my former husband, and by the end of 2022, I moved to Broken Hill for personal reasons. As a single mother with four children between the ages of 6 and 18, my availability is from 9 am to 3 pm on weekdays. I am a flexible and diligent worker, keen to learn and contribute to a team's success. With high motivation, I embrace new challenges and possess a strong work ethic, adaptability, and excellent interpersonal skills. Currently, I am pursuing a Certificate III in Childhood Education and Care, with aspirations to complete the diploma subsequently.
