Summary

I have had experience in the work force. Through retail sales assistance and working with children. After not working for 4 years, I’m looking for something different with working at the front desk and computer-wise. In 2024, I was employed to work as a support staff member for the Primary School, and I have been enjoying working with children, helping in classrooms, and just being there for the students. They relied on me. looked for me when they needed help, and so on.


In August 2024, i got the opportunity to work as a youth mentor in the Indigenous Girls Program called Stars Foundation. I was based at the Senior College, then transferred to Middle school in early 2025. This job gave me a meaningful and enriching experience. opportunities to connect with aboriginal girls and guide them through school and be a big sister to them.


I am also a mother of two. I am aware of the importance of responsibility and priorities regarding their education and their sense of safety and security.


I love being outdoors and interacting the family and friends. i also enjoy going to the gym to keep my mind set and body fit.
