Summary

I have a love for learning new things & am always up for a challenge! I thrive under pressure, and I always have a positive attitude or outlook in all environments. I devote my full attention, giving every effort to complete all duties with care, often taking the lead of the team and ensuring everything is under control at all times. I have experience in Early Childhood Education and Care, Hospitality, and Retail—meaning I have a broad set of skills in a range of environments, and I am eager to take on a new journey! If you asked me what my downtime go-to is, I would say: fishing, camping, shopping with a cheeky iced latte, and karaoke!
