My ultimate goal in life is to make a positive impact on people's lives. The interaction is never one-sided though, I am always learning through my clients and the special pieces of the stories they wish to share with me. I am a fun loving and social person who loves a good meaningful conversation with the people in my life - whether a colleague, family member or friend. I am also analytical, logical and inquisitive and can apply myself to various problem solving tasks while working well under pressure. I am not shy of a challenge. I pride myself on my curiosity to learn more, always aiming for self improvement - constantly looking for ways to grow and improve. Constructive criticism and feedback are pillars for my growth. My passion is with the people, and I am excited to enter a role which will allow me to foster this, while also challenging me, and enabling me to grow as both a professional and as an individual.
