Summary

From the age of 18, I have been working in healthcare and have gained valuable skills in effective communication and working efficiently under pressure, both as an individual and as part of a team. Growing up with computers has allowed me to become a proficient typist, with excellent English writing abilities and an understanding of how most computer systems work.


As a person, I pride myself on being open, approachable, reliable, and determined to achieve my professional goals.
