Summary
I am currently looking for role where I can display my personal skills and ability to support people. My passion to work in the health and community services sector is driven by my personal values and experiences which have resulted in my keen goal to support people that are vulnerable or marginalised in society. I possess a great level of personal integrity and believe in respect and equity for all regardless of all prohibitions under equal opportunity legislation. I am an advocate of promoting individuality and aim to make a difference ‘one person at a time’.
