Relevant Experience to the Role
Hocking Stuart
2010 - 2012
I began working at Hocking Stuart, a Corporate Realestate Franchise that managed 30+ office throughout Melbourne, Australia. I began as a Receptionist. This was a busy role, including lots of customer service, multiple line phone operations and all manner of office administration. I was quickly (within 6 months) promoted to Systems Coordinator, a role created in order to support a franchise wise customer management system change. This role was client (franchisee) facing, I was learning a new system, working closely with IT within and outside our company, fielding 60+ support requests per day and communicating our companies needs to the third party host of the software. Once the system rollout was under control, I was promoted to Events Coordinator & Executive Assistant to the CEO. This role, like the ones before it, required an incredible amount of organisation and attention to detail. I was heading up the planning and execution of large events (400+ people) for the company, such as Awards Galas and Christmas Parties. At the same time I was working closely with the CEO, managing his interactions with shareholders and franchisees, organising his emails and calendar.
Marshall White
2013 - 2015
After travelling through Europe and America I came back and began working as a Sales and Marketing Assistant with the most high end realestate franchise in Melbourne, Marshall White. In this role I was supported 1-3 Real Estate Sales agents (including the Director). My duties included creating marketing proposals for potential vendors, providing support to vendors throughout the sales campaign, working with strict deadlines for print marketing designs and signage, managing the Customer Relations System (CRM) for my Sales Agents, as well as many other ad hoc duties.
Yoga Instructor/Educator
2016 - Current
I’ve received training in Ashtanga Vinyasa, Yin and Zenthai Shiatsu (Bodywork). Throughout my time leading asana classes for studios I’ve remained a dedicated student to the philosophy of Yoga. I have a firm understanding of the mainstream western yoga industry, it’s strengths and pitfalls. I found Tantra through the audible version of Tantra Illuminated in 2019. Before this, I didn’t know what Tantra was. There were many moments listening to this book that I stood still, eyes bulging, slack jawed. I recognised the truth of non-duality and the true householders way. Tantra is my spiritual direction and I continue to learn more all the time.
So, why hire me?
I have demonstrated, both to myself and to my employers that I have initiative and am skilled at resourcing, taking on new roles and finding out what I need to in order to get the job done.
I am a dedicated Yoga Practitioner who has studied and has a good understanding of Tantra
I am personable, helpful, empathetic, nurturing, compassionate, inquisitive and systems oriented.
If I were to be hired in the role of Student Support Manager I would be committed to learning everything I needed to in order to excel in the role. I humbly have no doubt in my abilities. If I don’t know something, I am confident I will be able to figure it out.
I hope you will consider me for this role, it would be an honor to work for a company that I truly believe in. If you have any questions for me please reach out.
Warmly, Ashley
