Summary

  • I’m a hands-on, practical, and approachable team player with a diverse background in FIFO mining, small business ownership, and customer service. I currently own my own home in Perth and have a genuine passion for DIY projects, renovations, plants, and gardening. I also manage an investment property and understand the value of good advice, reliable tools, and excellent service, which is why I’m excited by the opportunity to work with the Bunnings team.
  • Most recently, I worked FIFO as a Drillers Assistant in WA’s mining sector, where I gained extensive experience using tools, maintaining machinery, and working safely under pressure. I hold both a Forklift Licence (LF) and a Heavy Rigid (HR) truck licence and am confident working in physically demanding environments. I now work for myself managing Airbnb properties and short-term rentals — a flexible, self-driven role that allows me to be available for casual shifts on weekdays, weekends, and evenings.
  • I’m currently looking for a casual position where I can stay active, be part of a great team, and help customers with projects I genuinely understand. My practical experience, passion for DIY and plants, and flexible availability make me a great fit for the Bunnings environment.

Work History

Drillers Offsider

McKay Drilling
Perth, WA
07.2023 - 12.2024

Shortly after moving to Perth, I acquired a FIFO role in the mines, working as a Driller's Assistant. Every new starter is employed on a 3 to 6 month probation, of which I was signed on exactly after 3 months. After six months, I received a second promotion, which included the added responsibility of managing the crew, organising stores, ordering parts and submitting paperwork. My daily duties also included collecting and running samples, performing routine tasks in setting up, operating, and dismantling machinery and equipment, and performing repairs and maintenance on the various machines and vehicles. I was appointed the drillers 'second' and was required to assist him whenever needed, as well as complete and submit required paperwork on behalf of the crew, ensuring our activities abided by all health and safety regulations and that my crew were always operating safely.

Independent Contractor – Fitness Instructor

Altitude Pole & Fitness

11.2020 - 04.2023

I first joined Altitude as a student, taking aerial fitness classes and becoming obsessed with this recreational fitness. I was approached to become an instructor and started teaching beginner classes as well as continuing to train myself in the more advance classes. I balanced this between my hairdressing career and business.

As of March 2022, I left the salon I was employed at and started my own solo business called Croft Studio, providing all things hair, extensions, makeup, bridal and event styling. I managed my own social media, marketing, and website development for my business, taking photographs, creating content, reals, story media and copy writing. As well as this, I took care of my own stock, inventory, administration, appointments, bookkeeping (on Xero) and enrolling myself in education to continue growing.

All of these departments included handling money, cashing up, answering phone, taking bookings, opening, and closing.

Retail Sales Assistant

Mirrou

This was my first job when I was in high school, as a Christmas Casual at Mirrou in the Te Awa Mall. After the Christmas period I was then given a part time contract.
