I am Brenton Fredericks, I am South African by birth and moved to Australia in 2006. When I am not studying or working, I am either hiking or at the beach as I have a deep reverence for nature. I'm also interested in people and am fascinated by the dynamics present in our society at micro and macro levels, perhaps I will write a novel one day when I feel I have had more life experience and met more interesting characters.
I'm in the third year of my undergraduate course. I am currently seeking out new roles to test and enhance my skill set. My strongest attributes are well established communication skills, an innate knowing of the needs of those around me, a strong curious streak and most importantly the ability to learn new things quickly. At 27 years old I am an older undergraduate, this has given me time to build an impressive amount of work experience in a range of roles. I have worked in fast food (2006-2008), hospitality (both front of house and back of house, my most lucrative position as a kitchen hand for the Pratt Family at Raheen House in Kew from 2010-2012), healthcare (as a patient transporter and environmental services assistant Epworth Richmond from 2012-2015) and most recently retail at BP.
I am a jack of all trades but am aiming to use the next 5 years to hone in and develop one main area, I feel that it will be a role whereby I will be a liaison of sorts but I am a strong believer that I will end up where I am needed.
