Summary

I pride myself on my hard-working nature and have a drive to do well in anything I put my mind to; this has been evident in all my positions to date. I feel that I thrive in a busy environment, dealing with all different types of situations and understanding different people's needs. I am very organised; I use these organisational skills to be able to deal with situations and cope under pressure and have very good communication skills.
