Sydney,NSW

Summary

I am a confident, dedicated, and organized business-minded professional with a strong initiative and work ethic, with decades worth of extensive work experience spanning multiple industries. Motivation, hard work, and reliability have been the cornerstone of successful business (internal and external), employee-employer and customer relationships leading to an enriching and satisfying career across many fields of employment. An enthusiastic and dedicated individual, capable of working independently or within a functioning team. I adapt easily to change and pace, learn new skills quickly and am always willing to upskill where necessary. Over the last several years (and throughout Covid) I have maintained employment whilst running a busy family-owned cafe and caring for elderly family members. I thrive within fast paced environments and handle all my responsibilities with due care. Strong leadership skills have meant that I have excelled and thrived in my business ventures, whether personal or contracted. Proactive Production Manager successful at anticipating needs and making adjustments to schedules, materials and workflow. Ready to bring expertise to company needing hands-on, knowledgeable and resourceful leader.
