Summary
I obtained a teaching degree from the University of South Africa but life took me in a different direction when I emigrated to Australia with my family. I have spent many years in bookkeeping and general office duties, as well as store front and reception, completing a Certificate III in Business Administration. Since having children I have decided to pursue a career in Education Support, so I have completed a Certificate III and IV in Education Suuport. I feel that I have the qualities to be a supportive and caring Special Needs Education Assistant. Always trying to improve my skills and approaches, as well as being flexible to change.
