Ranfurly,OTA

Summary

I enjoy taking a leadership role and thrive on the challenge of motivating others to be the best they can be. I believe if you were to ask my staff or employers to describe my management style, they would say that I am organized, motivated and a good communicator, with clear goals and direction but also not afraid to get stuck in and do the hard yards and lead by example.

I am a problem solver and like to challenge the status of people around me to do their best.

I have a passion for the industry, coupled with the drive, determination, and energy to succeed.
