Prior to joining the SAPOL Call Centre, I've been working to obtain my Diploma and Bachelor of Aviation down at UniSA.
This has led to me being able to obtain my commercial pilot's license.
The most prominent skill I reckon I've learned during my study, is my communication skills.
This skill has really translated over to my work at the Call Centre.
Where I feel like now I'm able to handle any situation over the phone effectively and professionally.
It certainly does suit my lifestyle, working at the Call Centre and training to be a commercial pilot.
As a casual worker, I'm able to preference my shifts in advance, which means I'm able to work my flying schedule and my work schedule together.
And it works out really well for me.
After selling my dental practice and starting my cake business, which is my real passion, I was really missing the mental stimulation that I got from my role as a dental practitioner.
I really received that from SAPOL
With the flexible hours it's been fantastic and it allows me the flexibility to work round my cake business, be a mum, go to the gym, do all those roles and do them successfully.
I think that my most memorable moment so far the time when I received a call about a simple abandoned vehicle, and I did the checks that are part of our role.
I was able to find that this car belonged to a missing person and I was able to task a patrol and we found her.
This role at SAPOL is perfect for my life.
