Summary

An outgoing and motivated woman who thoroughly enjoys life. Being a confident communicator with people from a variety of different cultures has enabled me to build strong and respectful life-long relationships. Within the workplace, you will have someone who uses common sense and initiative; someone who fits in well to an established team but can also work autonomously, cheerfully committing to any given task with ease and accuracy. An organised and diligent, mature individual who appreciates a good laugh but can be depended on to get the job done without compromising integrity
