Lucy Woodward
Sydney,NSW
Summary
I was born in England and have currently been in Australia since September. I am here to work and I am currently calling Sydney home for the foreseeable.
The past two years I worked as a special education teacher which relied on the use of technology for a variety of needs to documenting data, planning and being creative with engaging the children in the curriculum.Prior to this, I worked as an administrative assistant within an architectural firm which exposed me to all the skills required in this fast-paced demanding job. As technology is constantly evolving, I enjoy learning new skills to manage this.
I worked previously within hospitality in Brisbane and I am looking for a change in another fast-paced environment.
I am independent, hard working and thrive off a challenge. I enjoy learning new skills and work exceptionally well in a fast-paced environment, managing several tasks at the same time.
