Summary
I am a conscientious organised person who is looking for a career change. After 19 years of working with children I believe it is time to explore something new. I enjoy a fast-paced environment and have analytical problem-solving skills. During my role as Assistant Coordinator at OSHC I gained a wealth of customer and office experience and have a desire to return and build on my customer service and computer skills.
