About me
If I've learned anything in these last few months, since we all had to take stock of our place in the world, I realised that this is exactly what I'm supposed to do. I've seen and met many people work together to keep the nation going and many have decided to rethink their own personal contribution...I have never been more sure.As an outgoing and approachable person, with a “can do” attitude, I have worked hard to get to where I am in life and in my career. But I'm not done yet! There's so many wonderful things still to do!
I enjoy nothing better than the thrill of a challenge and will always do what I can to deliver the best result. Quick thinking and motivated, I can use the skills and knowledge I’ve learned through my life experience to come up with both short and long term strategies to dealing with problems. On paper I look only as good as what I can write down in a small space, in reality I am a smart thinker, and don’t stress easily, and even the most menial of daily tasks are completed to a high standard of professionalism. As both a team member and skilled worker I am definitely a great asset to have!
