Summary

I see myself as motivated, reliable and able to work enthusiastically, wether within a team or individually. I am a strictly professional, straightforward and positive person - this has aided me in the workplace as well as extensive dealings with clients in public. I have high moral standards and would like to believe that I am well balanced and well controlled. Although I thrive on intellectual stimulation, dealing and working with people in general remains a great passion.
