Work History

Volunteer Keeper

Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary
03.2023 - Current
  • Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility. I treat the animals in my care as I would my own.
  • Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment whether is be splitting up to get jobs done or rounding up an animal to be hospitalised.
  • I pride myself in new environments with fast learning skills and the ability to adapt to whatever is thrown my way.
  • I have an eye for detail especially when it comes to certain individuals in my care that I need to look out for.
  • Observations are key and seeing any animal acting out of the ordinary or with healthcare concerns I know to notify the current vet immediately.
  • Cleanliness is very important to me. In my volunteer workplace, chopping boards are coloured for different foods and everything must be washed thoroughly and sprayed with F10.


  • I believe I have an around experience with smaller to large mammals and I truly care for their welfare to the best of my ability.

Skills

  • Positive attitude- this includes working with keepers through all works of life no matter what we are going though to losses of wildlife
  • Teamwork and collaboration - I thrive working in a team or alone as I can adapt to different circumstances I enjoy the team input and learning different ways to handle situations whether it be catching up animals or a different way to cut fruit! (were all learning constantly and developing to the needs of our animals)
  • Problem-solving- In the area I work in, I feel i am great at problem solving If there isn't a broom i will use a dust pan If there aren't gloves available I will get a new package If the browse is a bit crispy but we don't have enough, I will tell the keeper on duty and hopefully source some more
