Summary

I Melanie Symons take pride in being a well organised, dependable person that can successfully manage multiple priorities with a positive attitude, this can be observed through my ability to uphold two management roles, whilst studying and undertaking the enjoyments and challenges of being a mum. I am passionate when it comes to detail-oriented aspects of my work with the willingness to take on added responsibilities by coordinating time management with problem-solving skills to meet team goals. These are core components that I luckily enough factored into my life successfully at a young age through coordinating balance in Schooling, Work life in my first Job at Wayne's World as well as Sporting aspects of my life. Throughout these early on experiences i have learnt to adapt and enhance these skills, and i continue to apply them in my daily life today.
