Summary

I am a hardworking and determined person which I apply to every challenge and task I face. I am a highly motivated and always work to the best of my ability, as well as grasping every opportunity I am given. I am punctual and well organised and have a positive outlook on life. I have been brought up to have strong family values, manners, and respect for others. Whilst growing up I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot with my family, in doing this it has enabled me to communicate and meet many different people from different backgrounds. I am a friendly person who gets along with everyone of all ages and backgrounds. When under stressful situations I handle them well and keep a calm head to get the task in hand completed to the best of my ability and maintain my focus throughout. I am very happy in my current employment, and I am only seeking new opportunities having been made at ‘risk of redundancy’ due to current work moving overseas.
