Summary
Ni Sa Bula Vinaka (Warm Greetings)
With the many years that I have worked, I have found that experience is key to achieving the outcomes of an organization's targets whilst being people-friendly, and being a team player as well boosts the team's momentum and spirits. Constructive feedback is also vital for a workforce to function, therefore I have gained a lot of experiences that have equipped, upskilled, and enabled me to adapt easily theoretically and practically in positions I have taken up. Time management is also a key factor that I take seriously and always welcome any challenges that may come my way.
"Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
