Summary
It’s time for change and I am ready to embark on my next career. I am keen to find an environment with great company culture, an inspiring leader who knows the importance of their people and to always be learning new things. I thrive on being busy, can juggle many projects at once and take pride and ownership of my work. I am full of common sense; have a strong problem-solving mentality and I care about people. I believe I lead others by setting a high standard and always going the extra mile. I walk my own talk, follow through, meet targets, and always strive for improvement. How you start your day speaks volumes about who you are. I exercise every morning and make my bed every single day! My family are my “why” and coming home happy each evening and being able to provide for them is why I get up and go to work every day. I am ready to work extremely hard for someone that thinks I am an asset to their business.
