Summary

I am a friendly outgoing person that can be trusted, im a skilled, reliable hardworking employee with good knowledge and experience of working environments that include health and Safety and the well being of other employees. My knowledge and experience in horticulture has been a big part of my life but my other passion is animals and I consider myself to be a caring person which ideally will give me great opportunities to work with them in the future. Whatever duties im given I always do to the best of my abilities and within the timeframes. As a Team leader in my current job I am up to the challenge of every day tasks and anything that is presented in front of me that may include employee disagreements or residents complaints or issues they may have. I am quietly confident and make a good asset to any team.
