Summary

I am a young, fit happy and energetic person and always embracing life's challenges. I am a friendly, passionate and hardworking individual who values the opportunity to be able to provide a service and help others in need. I am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to continue to grow and learn. Working for NSW Ambulance as a communications assistant has given myself many skills and the passion to grow further in the organization such as applying for the role of Control centre officer.

My Personality is such that I always give 110% I am a very strong worker on my own and in a team and strive to develop further skills and knowledge to be the best I can be for myself and those around.
