I am an organised and dependable candidate, successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude.

I have spent the last 7 years caring for my 4 young children so I have excellent negotiating skills, am calm under pressure, and I am looking for a new role in a meaningful environment. I am very keen and excited to learn and grow in a professional capacity.
