Aveley,Australia

Summary

I have 10 years of experience in the workforce. Started as a part-time barista in Starbucks Singapore and moved forward as a full-time banker in OCBC Singapore for 6 years as soon as I graduated my Diploma in Business Application in 2012 and had working experiences in the telecommunication industry with Optus Australia. Currently, I'm working as an Educator at Camp Australia since 2021. Being an organized, adaptable and reliable worker, I am always ready for any challenges that any job can offers. I am a strong team player and always complete tasks to a high standard. I am able to work independently as well with other team members. My future goals are to expand all the skills I already have and develop new skills along the way. I am highly motivated to achieve my goals and I am prepared to take on the challenges to achieve a successful outcome.
