Summary

I am an excellent communicator and rapport builder which I have used extensively in my career history for account management and for new business growth. I have a track record of working in a range of environments and achieving growth.


I can work independently or within teams to great effect and would quickly progress into an integral member of any organisation.


I know and understand the meaning of hard work and focusing on the job at hand. I am keen to push and challenge myself and would thrive in an environment that developed my skillsets.
