About me

I am passionate, motivated and driven.   I work with an entrepreneurial spirit bringing a resourceful, innovative, forward thinking and committed approach to my career.   I have excellent time-management, prioritisation and organisational skills with strong attention to detail and the ability to quickly adjust to changing priorities.  I am an experienced user of MS Office including Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Outlook.

I have a strong but open mind, believe in family values and like to live life to the full.  I thrive in creating a working environment where those around me also enjoy their work experience, even when circumstances are not conducive to smiling, and where colleagues can rely on the support of a united team.

Following completion of my formal training I was self employed for five years and learnt how to adapt and apply my core skills to diverse roles and industry sectors .  This included the need to learn new techniques, protocols, systems and work ethics in a limited period of time.  Travel and living away from home for both short and medium terms has been an accepted significant requirement of my working life, adding a fascinating dynamic to my career and a variety of challenges to be overcome.
