Louise Hulm

I am a devoted, middle-aged woman with a deep passion for my work, family, friends, and exploring new places through travel. I thrive on setting ambitious goals and pursuing them with determination. Over the years, I have built strong, positive relationships with my colleagues, fostering a collaborative and supportive environment wherever I work. My upbeat, adventurous spirit helps me maintain a happy-go-lucky outlook on life.

Currently, I reside in Esperance, Western Australia, a beautiful, but somewhat isolated location where job opportunities can be limited. Recognizing this challenge, I have decided to broaden my horizons by seeking remote work opportunities from home. I’m excited about the potential to continue my career while enjoying the flexibility that comes with working remotely, allowing me to balance my professional aspirations with my personal life.

Throughout my career, I have acquired a diverse range of experience across multiple roles, including administration, data entry, cleaning, and working as a warranty clerk. This varied background has allowed me to develop a comprehensive skill set and a deep understanding of different processes and systems within various work environments.

I pride myself on being fully committed to any new systems and programmes I encounter, dedicating my utmost effort to mastering them and ensuring they integrate seamlessly into my workflow. My positive, "can-do" attitude drives me to tackle challenges head-on and find effective solutions, ultimately contributing to the success of my team and organisation as a whole. I believe that my unique blend of experiences has equipped me with valuable insights and adaptability, making me well-prepared for ongoing positions that require initiative and a strong work ethic.
