Summary

Although I have not held a job with a paying company, My work experience began in 2017 at the Bunbury stable markets with my mum where we co-owned and operated our own market stall, selling goods we had personally created from recovered and recycled resources. During 2021 I assisted the mechanic from Walsh Mobile Mechanical (mum) with basic vehicle servicing and maintenance prior to firewood collection and camping activities. I recently engaged in gardening experience learning everything from mowing lawns to weeding and preparing garden beds and maintaining established plants, I was also introduced to basic hand-tool safety and maintenance.
