Summary

When I started in the industry in 2005 as a new to industry operator, I never thought I would be in the position I am today! The world of learning and new experiences has opened and I’m as excited as a kid in a candy store. I have always had a love for learning and growth within myself and others. I can work easily and productively with all different types of personalities which is key in this huge diverse industry.

Training to me is the most fulfilling career path that I could have. However, I do not wish to go through life with blinkers on in my career. I love new experiences and learning new skills. I can adapt quickly to change and work easily in a group or on my own as I’m very self-motivated.

I am seeking this position where I can bring my immediate value and strengths whilst developing my skills further. I believe with my work ethic and drive for success it will make me a valuable member of this team.
