It’s my shout for morning tea, how do you take your coffee?
A flat white with one sugar please.
What is it that you do at AMETS?
Tenement/Admin Geologist.
What do you love about your position?
The opportunity to be learning new things, assisting clients to meet their obligations and working within a very supportive team with so many varied skills and locations.
How do you spend your time when you are not at AMETS?
When not at work I can generally be found running around after our three children and if we are lucky enough to have a weekend off sport and other commitments we can usually be found camping down by the river.
What are you most grateful for?
I would have to say my family even if they are driving me crazy most of the time.
What is your ideal holiday?
Camping somewhere near water with family and friends. As it’s a cold frosty morning here at the moment maybe I should add it should be somewhere warm too.
Which three things do you take to a deserted island?
My hammock, a good book and a never-ending packet of Tim Tams.
What do you love most about being an Ametarian?
Friendly helpful colleagues, wonderful clients, and work life balance.
Do you have a favourite line from a show?
“From the Furphy water carts – Good, Better, Best, Never let it Rest, Till Your Good is Better, And Your Better Best.”
Is there anything else about working for AMETS that you think the world should know?
