Jenna Roth
Brisbane,Australia
Summary
I've recently arriving in Australia on a Working Holiday Visa, subclass 462, and I'm currently staying in Brisbane while I look for employment, but I'm able to relocate and start work immediately. I'm looking for a work environment where I can learn new skills and interact with different people. My background is primarily in childcare but I'm looking to use those skills in a different industry, as many of my skills are transferable. I'm a quick learner, I work well in a team, and can work independently.
