QA Technician

Summary

I consider myself to be very reliable, hardworking, and dedicated. I
work effectively within a team and by myself. I am keen,
enthusiastic, and flexible - understanding the importance of
supporting colleagues and the team whenever required. During my
experiences in working, I was needing to remain positive, focused,
and motivated; three traits which I believe reflect my personality
greatly.
