Summary

A highly motivated, energetic dependable person with a keen interest in learning new skills. A proven track record of adaptability demonstrated by previous varied work roles. Focused with a performance history of working within a collaborative, cross-functional team. I progressed from a records clerk working at Tema Harbour to a more senior role as a Forman.

To further my skills I have enrolled in two online courses studying for a Health and Social Care Certificate & to follow from this, an IT course with the New Skills Academy. I plan to continue with this studying while I am in the process of applying for a UK work visa. I am very keen to secure employment in the UK.
