Summary
Inspired by Oliver Holmes' quote, "The great thing in this world is not so much where you stand, as in what direction you are moving," I am driven by passion and enthusiasm to continuously work hard. I have valuable skills in the construction and landscaping industries, gained through formal training in risk management, workplace communication, traffic control, and safe chemical usage. My dedication to achieving the best results fuels my enthusiasm for my work. I have extensive experience collaborating effectively with individuals of various ages and cultures, thriving both in team settings and independently. As a fast learner, I am always eager to expand my skill set and explore new career opportunities. I recently served as an assistant grounds-person for the Darwin City Council in the Northern Territory for two years before relocating to Brisbane in April 2023, and since worked for the Logan City council in their road maintenance crew.
