Summary

I'm a friendly, outgoing and proactive Irish professional, I arrived in Australia in September 2024. I worked part-time in a supermarket while still in school. After leaving school, I worked for nearly two years as an apprentice carpenter and then spent three years in plastering before transitioning to a career in IT. In 2023, I worked part-time as a bartender for five months while completing an IT support course and starting my first IT job. My varied work experience has equipped me with excellent teamwork, communication, customer service, patience, and pressure handling skills.
