Personal Details, Statement and Achievements:

D.O.B: 1/2/02

I am a trustworthy, hardworking person who is happy to do all jobs asked of me.  I am a positive person, fast learner and always give 100% effort in everything I do.  I work well in a team of people as well as individually.

Over the past 10 years I have been involved in a number of sports, my main passion is riding horses and I attend pony club and also compete during the year.  I have played netball both socially and in Rep teams and I am a qualified C grade badge umpire.  In 2014 I worked hard to grade to my black belt in karate, during the five years I was involved I also competed in state, national and world titles with my club.

I currently work in positions that require excellent communication and problem solving skills.  Working with young children around the water and with horses can be dangerous and requires you to be alert at all times, a great role model, assertive, caring whilst being professional at all times.  There is a high level of professional behavior required as you are constantly working in a very public arena where the expectation of how you present yourself and carry out your duties is always on show.  I excel in high pressure situations as it has been my role to do so regardless of what unpredicatable situations arise.  I am a great teacher and really enjoy working with any age to teach new skills.

I have been fortunate to travel quite extensively considering my age, visiting many different places and countries including England, USA, Japan, Norway, New Zealand, Dubai, Bali, Carribean, Canada including exploring most of Australia.

I love talking with people and thoroughly enjoy working outdoors and would love to combine this with my love of horses.
