Summary

I am a forward-thinking individual who has well developed emotional intelligence, ambition, and ability. I possess strong team-working skills, can work individually or cohesively as part of a team, and have excellent organizational skills, gained through my academic and work experience working across multiple facets. I consider my key strengths to be an ability to make analytical judgements, people management, making financial decisions, assessing business situations, and the ability to strategically analyse and identifying important points. I have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to adjust accordingly, allowing me to relay business information clearly to my target audience, and can prepare well thought out, crisp presentations for both individuals and groups.
