Kat Izzard

St Kilda,VIC

Summary

I have enjoyed an extremely fulfilling and eventful career so far and look forward to the next adventure. I am a hard worker who prefers to be busy at all times, and I thrive on creating and fostering relationships with clients and colleagues.
I have a strong passion for Philanthropy and enjoy utilising my skillset to serve that sector, both in a work capacity and volunteering.
I believe in working hard but having fun while doing so and have enjoyed that culture in most of my roles to date.
My management style is that you should never ask anyone that you manage to do something that you couldn't/wouldn't do yourself, and I love to mentor anyone who would appreciate or benefit from it.
