Coming from a background as varied as Retail, Hospitality and Construction I've always been a hardworking productive employee with the ability to work on my own initiative. Since returning from Australia in 2009 I have been underemployed and unemployed at certain periods mostly due to the economic crisis. I have engaged with training and personal development at every opportunity presented to me with the aim of keeping my skills as sharp as possible. This has included a renewed interest in my civil responsibilities to our society and I have been actively engaging with Human Rights NGOs for the last 3 years. I have gained and developed many new skills from social media management, public relations, policy development, networking and organizing promotional events. I have a good command of many office and studio related software, not limited to but, including Photoshop, Movie Maker and PowerPoint. In June 2016, I completed a Hempcrete Construction course and I hope to develop a company operating in the new domestic industry currently being developed. In February 2017, I completed a online course with Alison and was awarded a certificate in Mental Health Studies - Suicide, Violent Behavior and Substance Abuse which is representative of my main research discipline.
