Summary
I am a driven, hardworking and ambitious individual looking to return to the workforce in a facilities role after spending the last 8 months on maternity leave. Originally from Wales I have spent the last 9 years residing in New Zealand working in Property and Facility Management roles where I have built a solid understanding of effectively managing a variety of facilities and residential properties. I am now looking to further my skills inside an organisation in which I can excel in my facilities management career, add value to a successful business and further my personal growth. I enjoy meeting new people and working with people at a professional level. I pride myself on professionalism, initiative, and efficient work ethic. I am enthusiastic to strive for excellence and consider a high degree of attention to detail a prime requirement for any role.
