My skills
I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Federation University Australia, where I majored in Acting with a minor in Dance. This was off the back of a high school education focused on mathematics, physics, and literature. I also hold a TEFL certificate.
I'm truly a jack-of-all-trades; I've worked in: entertainment, performance, education, training, sales, retail, hospitality, with experience in the fields of ing, insurance, utilities, working with both children and adults.
Languages Spoken
English (Mother Tongue) Spanish (Medium)Full CV / Resume
My main area of expertise is soft skills - I'm great with people (including kids)! I have a wonderful manner, clear and friendly communication, and an ability to relate to and liaise with people of all ages from all walks of life.
I'm organised, great with administration and data entry + management, and habitually a clean and tidy person. In education I've worked with both children and adults successfully, and have enjoyed seeing my student grow and flourish under my tuition and training.
In roles I've had I've quickly risen in the ranks applicable to the industry, for example into management in sales and into competition training and performance as a dance teacher.
