Fletcher,NSW

Summary

Originally from South Africa, I recently relocated to Australia in January 2025 and am now a permanent resident based in Fletcher, NSW.

With over 10 years of experience in education, I bring a wealth of transferable skills—particularly in communication, organisation, and client-facing roles—that align perfectly with the requirements of this opportunity. As a 37-year-old wife and mother to two young children, I bring a mature, grounded approach to work, alongside a genuine desire to contribute meaningfully in a professional team environment.

Throughout my teaching career, I have honed my ability to manage busy environments, communicate effectively with a diverse range of people, and juggle multiple responsibilities with attention to detail. I have consistently maintained a professional and courteous approach, whether interacting with parents, students, or colleagues—skills that I am confident will translate seamlessly into a receptionist and administrative support role.
