Summary

After facing many challenges and reflecting on previous experiences, I am ready and more driven than ever to make a positive difference. The environment, culture and morals in a workplace are important to me. I believe that we grow as people with kindness and encouragement. Success comes with lifting each other up and celebrating together. My goal is to one day become a project manager so that I can utilise my skills in helping others to achieve a common goal with fun along the way
