Summary

I am currently in year 10 at LJBC, excelling in studies as well as being in the top classes for math, English and science. I have recently completed my Cert 2 in animal care. I now attend TAFE every Tuesday day release from school to complete my Certificate 3 in animal care and veterinary. During my time at the Pottery Playroom, I have shown myself to have exceptional reliability and communication skills. I enjoy giving great customer service and like to ensure that the customers I deal with have a positive experience, something which makes me feel good about myself when I have helped others.
