Summary

I am a compassionate and dedicated professional with a genuine passion for working with people, whether through my experience in healthcare, as a Job Coach, or in everyday life. My cheerful, friendly, and positive nature allows me to adapt easily to different working environments and makes me highly approachable.

I thrive on learning new skills, building meaningful connections, and supporting others to the best of my ability. I possess excellent communication skills, strong problem-solving abilities, and extensive experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life.

Most recently, I worked as a Job Coach and hold a Working with Children Check, Police Clearance, and First Aid & CPR certification. My commitment to personal growth and well-being is reflected in my daily routine, which includes regular gym training.

As a mother of seven children (ages 27, 21, twins 20, 12, 9, and 7), I bring a wealth of life experience in supporting and engaging with children, teenagers, and adults. I have a particular passion for helping people and providing emotional support to families during challenging times.

I am capable of working effectively in high-pressure and challenging environments, both independently and as part of a team. I am open to on-the-job training or further study to enhance my skills and advance my career. Recently, my family and I relocated from the country to the Barossa Valley, and I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to my new community.
