I have previous experience as a team leader for Co-op Food Stores and have continued to work in areas that I am passionate about. This has taken me into various areas of work all of which allowed me to directly work with people and use my interpersonal skills.
I am looking to find a new working opportunity where I can use my interpersonal skills to help others.
My prior experience in education has shown me that I am best when working with people at a personal level. My experience with counselling also supports this. Through using my skills of listening, acceptance and problem-solving I excel at understanding and supporting other's needs. I am reliable and flexible and believe these traits are important when working alongside people.
Recently, I have had the privilege of traveling in a self-converted van. The conversion process has given me many transferable skills. These include skills such as operating a variety of tools, having an attention to detail, and showing dedication through my ability to begin a challenging task and see it through to completion.
I have very much enjoyed a variety of work, and life, opportunities and am eager to continue developing myself further through diverse experiences
