What I'm looking for

I seek roles that leverage my leadership and community engagement experience—mentoring, program coordination, or outreach—in collaborative, mission-driven teams with opportunities to grow.

I am a Bachelor of Social Sciences graduate with a strong record of student leadership and community service. At university and school I held elected roles and led teams, demonstrating reliable organization and a commitment to inclusive engagement.

I have practical customer-service experience as a waitress, where I developed interpersonal communication, attention to detail, and a service-first mindset. I consistently prioritize punctuality, accountability and ethics in all responsibilities.

My achievements include academic recognition and sustained extracurricular leadership in sports, performing arts, and outreach, reflecting adaptability and a results-oriented approach. I have recorded notable volunteer hours and received awards for leadership and service.

I bring dependable planning and organizational skills, written and verbal communication strengths, and a passion for community-focused roles where I can apply my leadership, mentoring experience, and interpersonal strengths to contribute to team success.
