Summary
I am a very versatile, responsible, curious, organized person. I am open and co-operative to new ideas and ways of working with others. I enjoy interacting with different people at all levels, and am reliable and trustworthy. I have experience in handling a high level of responsibility. My work ethics are of the highest standard, which I value. My interests are many and varied, in particular I have a passion for restoration, understanding and assisting in people's well-being, from nutrition, health, organic farming, the natural environment, mechanics and restoration of classic cars, music, film and arts, travelling and cultural exchange. In my spare I love to cook, create new food recipes, making my own herbal kombucha, foraging and experimenting with local and wild food, lending my natural abilities to “fix things around the home, including equipment. I am naturally inclined to find solutions to problems. What I can offer is my sunny nature, and enthusiasm to share life! I am quick learner and will demonstrate my initiative when required.
Being personable, open, creative and friendly is my forte. I grow with challenge and I am not afraid to use my initiative in any situation; I enjoy meeting and interacting with different people and have a strong team oriented approach.
