Any employer will find me to be a happy, light-hearted person who does not get involved in office politics, relates well with fellow workers and has a quick brain, is a fast learner and has a very strong work ethic.

To better prepare myself for the role of Process Technician with BP, I have successfully completed an online refinery safety and training program “PSR Interactive” designed by PSR Refining Services Pty Ltd. This program depicts a 3D oil refinery and encompasses 100 hours of online classes and has a 75% pass mark.

In my formative years I grew up on a sheep and cattle station in Central Western Queensland and as part of my daily chores I was required to have an understanding of the mechanical workings of the farm machinery.  Later in my working life I have acted as a Team Leader of up to 7 people, honed my leadership experience by attending various leadership programs and am currently studying a Bachelor of Health Safety and Environment at Curtin University, Western Australia full time via correspondence.
