Leadership skills were developed in my early years at school through cricket, chess and being a Prefect. I
developed my public speaking skills through communication at my various jobs. I am conscientious,
hardworking and goal directed. I show initiative and use my creativeness to find solutions to problems and
enjoy seeing projects through to a positive conclusion.
