Summary

I am a 54 year old UK Chartered Accountant who has held senior roles in a number of UK and international companies, after qualifying with Ernst & Young, London in 1995. Since having my daughters in 2004 and 2005 and then beating breast cancer in 2006, I have held a number of bookkeeping, accounts and volunteering roles on the Sunshine Coast while raising my daughters, and ensuring they became successful, social young women with the highest possible ATARs! They are both living and studying at The University of Queensland, so I now have the time to return to full time work. I am looking for work as a Private Personal Assistant as I believe that I have the exceptional organisational and communication skills to be an elite Personal Assistant.
