  I am passionate about people! I love to see others achieve their goals and work towards their own dreams and aspirations! :) Working alongside the team at Activ in Kalgoorlie has helped me develop a stronger appreciation for those with inclusive needs and better support them in their daily lives. I currently manage a small team of staff and supported employees within the business services and community sector. I find this role both interesting and rewarding. The sense of pride when they achieve something great is beyond words. While working for Activ I have been able to contribute widely to each individual on a personal level to help them reach their goals. I would like to further my experience in this industry and look to complete my Diploma in Community Services and Diploma in Leadership and Management. :) Show less
