I am confident in using both Mac and PC computers. I have skills in excel, word, Indesign, Supportability, MYOB, filemaker, wordpress/weebly websites.

Organisation skills

In my previous role as claims officer i was required to process daily NDIS claims and ensure moth end reports are provided to finance to ensure invoices can be generated accordingly.

The deadlines I was previously required to meet as a photography coordinator are tight and no room for movement due to printers bookings and deadlines. Each catalogue and event runs on a very strict schedule on a weekly and daily basis. It was my responsibility to ensure that I meet my deadlines and also to ensure the photography studio is aware of their timings, schedules and deadlines.
