Summary

I have always had a passion to work with children and would love the chance to restart that journey.

Despite not being in the workforce for some time as I took the time away to raise my three children I believe I am equipped with strong problem-solving abilities, willingness to learn, and excellent communication skills. Poised to contribute to team success and achieve positive results. Ready to tackle new challenges and advance organisational objectives with dedication and enthusiasm.
