Fraser McKay
Gold Coast
Summary
Since graduating high school in 2017, I have been constantly employed, gaining life and work-life skills, along with valuable experiences that have helped shape who I am today. I have shifted around between various jobs throughout my years; however, I am always led back to my true passion: assisting, educating, and guiding individuals to live a better life. Having spent several years as a school officer/educator, I have witnessed firsthand how important and beneficial it is to leave a positive impact through mentorship and guidance. With my educational studies on pause for the moment, I am dedicated to this new endeavor, where I can combine my skills, experience, and passion for guiding and empowering individuals to ensure every person’s potential is nurtured. I bring great value to any team I am a part of, and I collaborate well with others.
