GEORGIA LAMONT

Summary

My name is Georgia Lamont. I am from New Zealand and have recently moved to Perth to expose myself to new experiences and opportunities.

I have worked full-time, trained and studied as a pharmacy technician for the past three years. I am driven with a proven track record and success in building strong relationships with patients and clients. I am detail-oriented with a commitment to maintaining high-quality assurance and control standards. Empathetic, conscientious and approachable are all words used to describe my personality.

Experiences such as working through COVID-19 gave me an even stronger appreciation of the importance of face-to-face interaction with customers. It also gave me an interminable appreciation of working in a team. A team is vital in creating great results and support for one another. I am passionate about this in and outside of the working environment.

I am reliable, adaptable, empathetic, positive and trustworthy. I thrive in a fast-paced, multitasking work environment. I enjoy being busy and am incredibly passionate about doing things well and to the best of my ability.

So far, I have enjoyed my time in pharmacy, but I am looking to establish a life here in Perth and give something new a try, broadening my knowledge and experience.

I am currently working part-time at the Niche Education group. I love being a part of the Niche team and the knowledge I gain daily at work. I am, however, looking for a full-time position.
