I’m a reliable, self-motivated, hard worker with over 9 years of administrative experience in a FIFO mine site and education. I also possess a Certificate I in Construction, and Certificate III in Individual Support, the ability to work at heights, can use various hand tools and ensure a clean and safe working environment. Worked as a Trade Assistant at Building sites. Dedicated, committed and driven, I work well in a team or independently and always ensure the job is done on time. I have a keen interest in working in a FIFO role in any mine sites in Australia. I can do any job.

I have worked with Foundation Training Australia as an Admin Officer, and Front Desk Attendant. Also worked with Queensland Government, Community Recovery, as a Grants Officer, basically communicating and processing claims for natural disaster affected clients in QLD. I have demonstrated proficiency in the use of computer software portals with Community Recovery, QLD Gov't. I have a White Card, Blue Card and Yellow Card. I love to work with passion.
