Summary

A self motivated individual who holds brilliant problem solving and communication skills. I thrive when working under pressure and consider myself to be readily adaptable to new techniques, and have a burning desire to succeed. I have over 10 years experience within customer service environments and able to manage heavy workloads with ease using transferable skills I have developed over many years. I take pride in any task given and results driven. I believe I am highly meticulous when analysing data, this was developed during my years at university studying Quantity Surveying, and now able to confidently examine data and arrive at conclusions reflected by the data.
