Summary

I am a motivated and organised professional experienced in leading diverse teams and managing complex projects. I thrive under tight deadlines and can handle multiple responsibilities while maintaining strong communication and leadership skills. Training as a rowing athlete for the LA Olympics has sharpened my discipline, dedication, and time management. I excel at problem-solving and fostering team cohesion, and I take pride in my ability to adapt and lead under pressure.

Furthermore, I am also an extremely friendly and compassionate person and take huge pride in my communication and patience in fostering trusting relationships.
