Once upon a time, I was so embarrassed about my resume. It was 4 pages long before I’d even hit 25.
Here are some things I’ve done:

Retail - Spotlight, Rockmans, Pharmacy Assistant

Administration - Legal Secretary, Project Officer, Building Coordinator, Property Manager / Maintenance Manager, Admin & Support Officer.

Industries: Insurance / Building Restoration, Facilities Maintenance, Family Law, Residential Tenancy (NSW), Trades.

BUT the best one was…

I owned a cookie company for two years. “ChunkyBoiz Cookie Co” made some waves during Covid, and I learnt A LOT about owning a small business.

You can read about all that here, it’s legit I swear… see here too.

I then moved into Disability Support Work, and here we are today!

What formal education have I done?

• CHC33015 - Certificate III Individual Support

• CHC43515 - Certificate IV Mental Health Peer Work

• Standard Mental Health First Aid Certificate

• First Aid Certifications (HLTAID001, 002 & 003)

• HLTINF001 - Comply with Infection Prevention & Control Policies / Procedures

• NDIS Orientation Modules - Quality, Safety & You / Supporting Safe & Enjoyable Meals / Supporting Effective Communication / New Worker Module

CURRENTLY STUDYING

• CHC52015 - Diploma of Community Services

While it’s so important to have formal training, I am also a firm believer that lived experience is so important. That’s why I believe, combining my own experiences and certifications, I’m doing alright.
