Summary

Thank you for taking the time to consider my application! I'm seventeen and currently finishing my year twelve studies with hopes of starting a social-work degree at JCU in 2025. I have enjoyed my time at Zambreros over the last year or so but I would appreciate working closer to home. The willows complex is also on my commute to and from school, making it easier to be prompt for afternoon shifts. I also would like to expand my skills by working in a retail industry, which would better prepare me for my future aspirations.
