 Leah Parker T:- E:- About me I am an experienced motivated professional who understands the needs of business growth, planning and organisation. I possess a myriad of skills, initiative and awareness which will provide a positive contribution to any business with a professional and case sensitive approach. With 15 years experience as an Executive Assistant,  I have been fortunate to have worked in both the Private and Public Sectors. Previous roles include; key support for CEOs and Executives. My priority is to keep my clients moving and have everything they need to be fully efficient in their busy and demanding roles. COVID19 Just like everyone else, COVID 19 had a big effect on me. In March 2018 I was moving to Saudi Arabia. I had a secure job at a company called Saudi Aramco as an Executive Assistant. I packed up my house, left my job at NDIS and at the gym and I flew to Saudi Arabia. Whilst in the air on March 8th, Saudi Arabia closed it’s border to the rest of the world and I was sent home. Saudi Aramco attempted to private yet me into the county but I knew that if I was to go, I would not be able to get home, so decided to forfeit the position at Saudi Aramco and stay in Australia.
