I have always had an interest in helping people, straight from school I worked in childcare in a council run centre and obtained a Certificate 3 in childrens services. From here I then worked in sales and customer service along with wanting to travel as much as possible as I felt curious about the world. When the world stopped from COVID-19, I decided to undertake some additional study and completed a Bachelors in Public Health which graduated in the end of 2025. I am going on to continue my Master’s degree for the next 2 years. I have a passion for supporting the mental health epidemic that is going on, particularly with adolescents. For the past year I was working in a cafe which employed people with special needs and limitations. Since working here I gained on the job experience working with a large variety of individuals and I loved it! My biggest achievement here was facilitating a volunteer roster for the cafe where people in the community could come and spend some time out in public to socialise, upskill and challenge their limitations. I did this by arranging activities for people who had been struggling with their mental health, needed socialisation or wanted to give back with their free time within a relaxed hospitality setting. The cafe attracted people from many walks of life which then became my regular customers. Here I experienced working alongside homelessness, mental and physical health disabilities as well as other psychosocial issues like refugees and domestic violence. Unfortunately my living situation had to change and I live too far from this location so I am looking to do some more support work. I think I would be good at it because I my compassionate and empathetic nature paired with my level of organisation and leadership skills allowed me to thrive in this position. I would like to gain some more experience in this field alongside my studies as a love working at the community level. For enjoyment I enjoy keeping fit and healthy, exploring new places and going to see any kind of show in the arts (music/theatre) I have always been approached for supervisory or management positions for every job I have ever had I think this shows my trustworthiness, responsibility and leadership capabilities. I always take pride in my work and have always look to improve my skill set. Alongside this I like to take a person centered approach to my communication style by active listening, developing trust and maintaining a side of playfulness and fun.
