Summary
I am a well-rounded, friendly young woman, who has a confident personality. I am very much open to, and enjoy learning new things and due to my participation in various team sports, as well as keeper and volunteer teams, I am able to work and communicate effectively with others. Being an incredibly busy person means I have developed great time management skills and the ability to adapt under pressure. I also have a great deal of commitment and dedication to any activity I participate in and am no stranger to hard work.
