Summary

As many of my previous direct and in-direct managers will attest, I am a self-driven hard worker, who does not shy away from a challenge when it presents itself.

I thoroughly enjoy working in a team environment, however I also thrive when working autonomously.

I am well presented, reliable and considerate.


I have over the past decade developed and generated a wealth of experience engaging with clients from all walks of life. My passions and values are such that I always wish to work in an industry that contributes in a meaningful way.

During my volunteer work with such organisations as Scope, Make-a-Wish and the Wilderness Society, I was impressed and humbled by the strength and compassion of the individuals working with these non-for-profits and those they strive to assist on a daily basis.
