Summary

I am a motivated individual with a friendly persona, I am able to adapt to most situations, whilst still maintain high standards of work. My previous work situation have been varied in roles and have challenged me to quick thinking and to solve issues as they arise, but also giving me vast experience not only in administration, but how to be proactive. I always like to maintain a positive persona and like to pride myself in being very organised. I am also enthusiastic about working as part of a team, but can effectively take the lead if required. For several years I ran my own company’s, in which I gained valuable experience in many areas which has been production in moving forwards in future roles.
