PROFILE
A highly organised individual, with strong prioritisation skills, due to many years of experience in high
pressure environments, I have strong IT skills and I learn new systems quickly and efficiently. Working
in different roles and industries has made me very adaptable and open to change, and I appreciate
being challenged. I am always keen to develop and better my existing skillset and actively seek out
opportunities to do so, I work effectively under my own initiative but I also enjoy the interaction and
collaboration that arises from working in a team.
