Career Aspiration And Profile
I successfully completed Year 12 in 2003 and obtained some work experience during my final years of high school, as an administrative officer and teacher's assistant. I had a break from the workforce when I started my family. I am a Compassionate and motivated Community Support Worker with 4 years of experience in the care sector, providing person-centred support to individuals with diverse needs. Undertook training in 2021 to enter the care sector and have since developed strong skills to support individuals to maintain independence, dignity, and well-being.
