Summary
I am on extended leave from my substantive position with Educational Queensland and am looking for new challenges and experiences. I have a strong work ethic and a tendency for perfectionism, taking pride in whatever tasks I am given, big or small. I am known for my friendliness and enthusiasm and am best tasked working with people. I believe my significant training in working and managing people would make me an asset in the service based industry.
