Summary

Reliable employee seeking part time position. Offering excellent communication and good judgment. Hardworking and passionate job seeker with strong organizational skills eager to secure a position in a wellness environment. Ready to help, organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.

Personal Summary

I grew up in a military environment and traveled extensively as a child with my parents and 2 brothers.

I met my husband in 1996 and married in 2000. We eventually had 2 beautiful girls in 2003 and 2006.

I moved to Australia, with my husband and 2 daughters in January 2020. This has certainly been a challenging few years with COVID but I now feel the need to get back into employment and do something for myself having kept everyone in the family supported for the past few years. I am looking for something different to nursing as I have had some health issues over the past 6 years. I am a hard worker and would give 100% to this role.

I very much look forward to your response.

Creating Cellebration Cakes

Creating Cellebration Cakes

I like to create celebration cakes of all shapes, sizes and designs and have a facebook site called 'Sweet Memories"

This all started with my daughters needing birthday cakes and enjoy creating their wishes and seeing their beaming faces.

In 2016 I was approached by a friend to make her daughters birthday cakes and word of my cakes spread by word of mouth very quickly.

I have created only a handful of cakes since moving to Australia but enjoy baking with my daughters.
