Summary
I am a passionate and self-motivated individual who has an inquisitive approach to life. I want a challenging role that allows me to use my analytical and creative attributes, but I want to have passion and enjoy what I do, I don’t mind hard work. I love being part of a team, but I am also happy to take the lead of the team. I motivate myself to be the best I can be, but I am also balanced to reflect and learn from my mistakes. I love playing rugby and the key personal development I have acquired from this is respect, commitment, discipline and being driven to perform at the very best as a collective. My career aspirations are to be an Electrical Engineer involved with a competitive cutting-edge company at the top level. The closing comment that defines me is, I love being in a team, working as a team and winning as a team.
