Summary

I am 17 years old, and recently left Coolum State High School to pursue a career in Nursing. I will be commencing my course in July 2025. I am committed and responsible. I am also very eager to learn new skills in the workforce. I have danced locally in Coolum since the age of 5, which shows my commitment. I love to help anyway possible in the community. I have volunteered multiple times to help in the disability surfing and teaching dance to younger students (ages 4-6) at my dance school. I also have a side job that I love which includes babysitting for multiple different families. Hardworking waiter with several years of experience and solid background in food service field. Highly skilled at meeting needs of diverse customers while keeping calm and maintaining professionalism. History of delivering speedy service while working on feet for long periods of time and training incoming staff.
