What Sets Me Apart
I am always eager to learn in this industry information is key. I love finding solutions to problems instead of avoiding them. I am 100% a team player and working alone with minimal supervision isn’t a problem for me either.
I am pretty well-traveled within South Africa and abroad so I have no problem interacting with different cultures and nationalities.
Growing up with two other siblings taught me to be extremely competitive but also taught me humility and compassion.
