Summary

I am a very responsible, hardworking person with a positive attitude. I'm happy working alone or in teams, and I get along well with others. I enjoy being around people who take their job as seriously as I do but can still have a good sense of humour. I will always be reliable and helpful. I'm fully vaccinated, and have had the booster, as well as the flu jab. I'm happy to learn new things, and willing to undergo any training necessary.
