ABOUT ME

I'm based in New South Wales, Australia and have 15 years  administrative and customer service experience in positions that have included, Personal Assistant and Office Administrator in the Legal profession, Web site Maintenance and Executive Assistant at senior corporate level in the Australian NSW Local Government industry,  and Support Consultant (software support, technical writing) with two multi national companies in the Information Technology industry.

 

I’m a quiet achiever who enjoys working with new products and systems.  While working full time and raising a family, in 2007 I gained qualification with distinction overall for Website Development through the NSW Department of Education & Training (Business, Arts & Information Technology).

 

I now look forward to providing a balanced and empathic view of what my clients’ issues and needs are and how my web development skills and support services can help them achieve their business goals.
