Summary

I’m a motivated and confident Aboriginal woman. I am currently working full-time in a temporary position, as a customer service officer for the Department of Communities and Justice in Taree.

I successfully completed a bridging course at university of Newcastlein 2022, with the hopes of starting my Diploma in Community Services in the coming year.

It has always been a goal of mine to support people that experience disadvantage, as I was once in a position of disadvantage and strived to build myself up.
