Summary
I am a highly motivated, kind and caring person. I am very committed and dedicated to creating connections and building new relationships with my co-workers and mangers. As an African/Australian woman I am very passionate about diversity and inclusion and the importance of making everyone feel valued and understood. My effective communication style enables me to learn quickly and adapt to a new changing environment. I am a hardworking Disability Support Worker dedicated to comprehensive, compassionate and individualised patient care. I have a passion for teaching and supporting individuals in setting foundation for life-long success. Proven to quickly develop rapport with people through friendly approach, patient demeanour and excellent communication skills. I am organised with exceptional work ethic and dedication to completing projects. I am skilled in both independently motivated and collaborative team settings. Whilst my experience is within Early Childhood environments, I believe I would transition well to High school aged children and bring a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the role. I live locally, and am available to commence work immediately and would be willing to complete any training required.
