Summary

I am a self-motivated and high achieving individual, who endeavours to gain new experiences and knowledge in the workplace. I have proven myself as a highly capable, flexible and reliable member of a team who takes ownership of my outcomes and decisions. In my current role, I ensure customer satisfaction is at the center of my actions. In my previous experience as a team leader, I managed a small team and focused on achieving business outcomes such as customer satisfaction, key performance indicators, quality and efficiency. I met these outcomes by developing a successful team environment through effective communication and people management. I believe I can apply all these dynamic skills to the role and assist in the growth and success of the company.
