This also is evident in my attitude and approach to, both, colleagues, students and community in both social and technical fields. Extensive experience with disengaged and disadvantaged youth, through roles in social work, ministry and education realms. (Please refer my Experience in these roles, listed below) Experienced electronics technician, with many years working in the area of Radio Frequency transmission and reception (RF), particularly in the areas of terrestrial TV reception, satellite services and the Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) Network. Ideally, in seeking employment, I would like a role where I can use my experience, skills and knowledge in a way that assists or supports others. This may be in ways such as counselling and mentoring, leadership, supervision, training or other assistance.
