Summary

I am a friendly, happy person who loves to meet and help people. I am currently on maternity leave having had my little girl in July. I love to encourage, empower and inspire people in what drives them and basically just get people excited about life. In my spare time I enjoy working out, drawing, dancing and of course spending time with my family. I have a positive enthusiastic attitude and set high standards for myself. I have good communication skills, I love teamwork, am super patient, respectful and focused.
