Summary

I would consider myself to be a hands on confident person with excellent experience in the customer service environment. I enjoy meeting and chatting to new people and constantly striving to do my best in everything i undertake, and i believe i have the persevere and determination which will be necessary in all demanding fields. I feel i have experience a knowledge in different types of work and education and love to try new things. Having already worked in Episkopi MOD garrison twice on two separate postings i believe i have a good insight to military life and the working environment, and have build great relationships with the people I work and live with. Being an Military wife means i have to adapt to different environments and surroundings and I have managed to secure and variety of jobs roles over the years many from kiosk, customer service to optical assistant which was completely new to me, and involved the use of a multiple computer systems such as CP&F and dealing with large scale organisations such as the Department of Transport , DVLA etc meaning i can adapt quickly to new job roles and take on any applicable training necessary.

Outdoor pursuits has been one of my most favourite hobbies, the outdoors and surrounding environments makes  me feel alive as well as some of the challenges and rush they hold. In my spare time as a family we like to explore different hikes and trails to walk.  I also have a interest in property and design, gaining experience and different trades that comes with flipping a property has given me great confidence in my self helping me through other aspects of life.
