About

I have great organisational skills, for example as assistant Scout leader (aged 18 to 21) teaching life skills to teenagers. This involved organising an 8 day remote camp and in particular preparing obstacle and activities for them to achieve the relevant badges to qualify for attendance at the World Scout Jamboree in Ipswich 1982/83. I have honed this core skill throughout my life and career. I am respectful and helpful. I describe myself as efficient and productive and this is demonstrated daily in my current and in previous jobs. I am adaptable to change; hardworking and good at problem solving. My Mother ran Girl-Guides and Brownies groups for the local Aboriginal Children at the Wreck-Bay Reserve and my father ran a Police Boys Club at the same reserve which I used to participate in. Between the ages of 8-11 I used to play with my Neighbour who was living with Down syndrome. I have no judgement of race or disability and I treat everyone as equals. ^& ^&I cook most of the meals at home; entertain friends with dinner; take meals to friends and do not rely on take-away. I have honed my skills over the years to make a variety of meals across various cuisines (Italian, Mexican, Middle-Eastern, Spanish, American, East Asian, Indian and European). I am constantly challenging myself with techniques and cuisines. Coupled with my knowledge of shopping (as I have responsibility for the house-hold shopping) I know the places to find quality and affordable groceries. I can teach these skills, as I do so with many friends who have an interest in sharing recipes or sourcing certain foods. I find its good to share stories and humour over a meal and I am willing to learn more recipes from others and help them to benefit from good nutritious food. ^&
