I consider myself to be a cheerful, hardworking person that would be an asset to any team or activity. I have good working relationships with my current colleagues and can be a good sounding board as well as provide advice if I am able. I am confident and capable of leading as well as taking a backstep for others to take charge. I have a full driving licence and enjoy reading, walking my dog, spending time pottering in the garden and trying to make crafty things.
