Olivia Dullard

I am a 25-year-old fulltime university student and completed a Bachelor of Nutrition Science at Deakin University in 2021, passing all subjects. I currently studying towards my Masters in Dietetics at Swinburne University. I am organised and a dependable candidate, successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet shared team goals.

You will see from my details below that I recently completed a placement at Monash Health in Moorrabin, specifically working closely with oncology patients, who present with various co-morbidities. This experience introduced me to the professional field of clinical dietetics. I had ample opportunity to conduct nutrition assessments, create individualised nutrition care for my patients, and educate patients on nutrition, specifically in cancer and malnutrition. This placement allowed me to refine my strong communication skills and committment to effectively working with healthcare professionals.

I have also previously completed a placement with Sports Dietitians Australia in my undergrad. This experience taught me a lot about Sports Nutrition and gave me opportunities to speak to senior sports dietitians on their career history.

During my gap year, I had the opportunity to work at my previous high-school, this experience was traineeship at Catherine McAuley College in Bendigo. Throughout this traineeship, I was responsible for assisting with the coordination of the Outdoor Education program. I provided support to teaching and admin staff with the coordination of all activities in this regard and attended camps and sporting activities providing direct student support. I also earnt a Certificate III in Business during the traineeship.

in 2020, I completed training for a Residential Leader position at Deakin University during 2020, this was 4 weeks of intense training in many skills. The position was compromised due to COVID19, however, residential care was continued online.

I also volunteer at Foodbank Victoria weekly which is a rewarding and enlightening experience.

I possess excellent keyboard skills, am highly computer literate and proficient in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook. I am also familiar with Canvas and have completed multiple assignments through this software. I am a hard-working individual with strong interpersonal skills and am seeking a position which will put these skills to use. I have a strong and proven background in administration, customer services, hospitality, and retail. I seek a position that requires a commitment to teamwork, excellent communication skills and a respectful work ethic. I believe I am a healthy young person who is capable of working in a wide range of environments and able to perform a variety of tasks. My teamwork and people skills ensure that I am productive in large or small groups. I am able to follow instructions as well as lead people as required. I take pride in my strong motivational skills and ability to work carefully, efficiently and with discretion. With a wide range of skills and enthusiasm, I believe I can adapt to any workplace environment in which I may find myself in.
