Interests

Highly sociable, I enjoy building relationships and developing new ones. I believe social capital can be invaluable in today's competitive world and relationships are to be cherished and nurtured, especially in business. I attended various networking events. I found these great in developing my people skills. Frequenting attending many hospitality events from an early age also familiarised me with the networking world and its potential rewards. This has helped me in starting a community funded cause. I participate in activities such as drama and dance shows which involve a great deal of personal commitment and discipline. Possessing a craving for knowledge, I strive to actively educate myself and love reading non-fiction texts. I also like to socialise with colleagues on a Friday after work
