Summary
I have been working in the Sports/Aquatic Industry at Hume Aquatic and Leisure Centre and Gisborne Aquatic Centre for close to six years. Within these six years I have developed my personal skills from a swim teacher/Lifeguard, to now being one of the head coaches of the Gisborne squad, a Duty manager, HSR Officer, Assistant LTS Administrator and the Coordinator for the School Swimming Program at Gisborne Aquatic Centre. I have achieved all this in a small time I know I will only achieve my goals by being proactive, dedicated, hard-working woman. I believe an energetic and ambitious personality is what a role in sports need.
