Summary

Throughout my professional career the motivating factor and greatest enjoyment for me has been connecting with people and helping in some way. The skills that I have acquired through teaching, business ownership and administration, I have acquired by assessing the needs of the people and upskilling myself to meet those needs. I have very high standards of myself and there is nothing better than working in a supportive, driven workplace to make me strive harder to achieve those standards for the clients, the team and myself.
