Summary

Having recently returned from travelling around Europe I am now looking to take the next steps in my career. I am a motivated and hard working professional that is always up for a challenge. From my current experience I have developed effective communication and problem solving methods that have helped me succeed in high pressure, deadline-oriented situations. This has also given me the ability to work under pressure leading to affective decision making.
