Emily

Hard-working, adaptable and practical individual with a diverse range of experience across security, vehicle technology, mechanical work, office administration, housing, cleaning, delivery services and animal care. I am self-motivated, reliable and comfortable learning new skills independently, with a strong practical and problem-solving mindset. My experience as a Security professional and Vehicle Technician has developed my ability to follow procedures, identify risks and faults, work responsibly and remain calm under pressure.
