I have a degree in Packaging Engineering and Technology. I worked in that field for 16 years with some large multinational companies. When I decided to change direction, I saw an opportunity to apply my skills and experience to Operations Management and Administrative Support.
I joined Twilight Aged Care as an Administration Officer of Corporate Services. This is a new role for the organisation and I hope I will be able to contribute to the productive running of the operations for the head office and across the facilities.
I left the packaging field in 2011 so I am going on 6 years working for not-for-profit and faith-based organisations. I first worked for a church in transforming their office to a more professional and controlled environment; then I was employed by Hunters Hill Congregation Church Retirement Village to manage the office through a period of organisational and personnel changes.
I get a buzz out of solving problems of any kind and I like planning. For example, working out the necessary steps to get to the end result efficiently.
I really enjoy period dramas in book and movie format. I was introduced to Jane Austen (and Mr. Darcy!) when I moved to the UK.
I was born and raised in France. I moved to the UK after university for my first job and after a few moves, eventually migrated to Australia in 2004. I feel very privileged to now be a Franco-Australian.
I enjoy doing crafts and DIY. I love Australia for its ‘great outdoors’. I am very involved with my church – the Hunters Hill Congregational Church – that is on the Twilight Hunters Hill Village site and I am a long-standing volunteer with Manly Sailability which offers freedom on the water regardless of ability.
Get it right first time and find opportunities through the day for some laughter.
