Summary

I am a dedicated, honest, punctual worker who thrives to do the very best that I can in any environment. As an Aboriginal person I have been fortunate enough to have been actively apart of Indigenous work programs most recently with the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation's Woka Wolla land and water management crew. Carrying out land management works on Yorta Yorta Country in a culturally safe and respected way. Majority of work done by my crew is directed by our elders council. I'm experienced with leadership and strategic planning, I utilize strong problem-solving and decision-making skills to drive success. I am familiar with common safety processes and procedures such as SWMS, Incidents reports and OHS requirements. I have shown and am willing to further develop my personal skills and adapt to any work environment I'm in for the good of the organisation and community.
