Summary

I bring a range of transferrable skills due to my experience in various roles such as a technical peer support officer, skills coach, training facilitator, Senior Service Officer (SSO) and more recently a team leader in Smart Centre Operations.


I am passionate about building staff capability and providing learning and development support through learning plans and goal setting, utilising system tools and resources to analyse behaviours and provide in the moment coaching and feedback. I have built capability among staff to provide a holistic customer centric approach to their work ensuring quality outcomes are delivered.


As a leader my role is to communicate strategic messaging to my staff who are scheduled in a service delivery environment and keep them well informed of current work issues and also ensure staff are adherent to scheduled work activities to meet work output.
