About

I began my working life at the age of fifth teen within Ritchies IGA, I started out as a delicatessen which I became very dedicated to, I then went to take on the role of checkout operator and floor stockist. I also took on the role of waitress within Food Star, my time there was only short as I was unable to keep up the work load of two jobs whilst also still attending secondary school. I also briefly worked within Oasis Horticulture, I was weary to begin the role as I had no experience what so ever, I did actually enjoy it and learned quite a few skills around horticulture. After five years of working in Ritchies stores I took on the role of deli manager which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was very sad when I left for maternity leave. I returned to Ritchies for a further twelve months after having my first child and then finished my career to head into starting my own home photography business. I ran my photography business for a total of seven years, I was extremely dedicated to my business, it was a massive challenge running my business along with trying to navigate my three children, it was extremely hard to keep up with at times, it was an amazing experience having children return and watching them grow along with their big personalities. Unfortunately I had to make the decision to end my business due to some severe personal life problems. I then went on to do some house cleaning which I also enjoyed, I have earned such a great appreciation for cleaners after my experience in the role. Lastly I briefly worked within Basco wholesale as a pick packer, unfortunately during my time in the role I was suffering some quite severe mental health issues including chronic depression which effected my ability to enjoy the role although I was very appreciative for the experience and my co workers who were lovely to me. I live with a diagnosis of Schizoaffective disorder along with CPTSD due to my long past road of trauma with domestic violence although I do my best to continue living as positively as I can. I do have quite a large amount of life experience due to many series of unfortunate events within my life, I’m extremely educated in psychology and mental health due to my own conditions. I thrive in roles that also keep me active as I am a very sports oriented person and I also have a strong ability to hyper focus, i am also very good at coaching others through difficult times in their lives. I unfortunately cannot take on a full time position at this point in my life due to my medical conditions and my full time commitments to my children.
