Summary

Being a professional individual with good communication skills, I love working with people and have the proven ability to perform effectively within a team, however, I do not shy away from taking charge when working in groups, when the need arises. I am also able to work under pressure, strict on attention to detail and have an eagerness to learn. It is very important to me to be punctual with my assignments and projects. I have a passion for Taxation and Accounting and love working with number. Building a career where I can apply my skills and passion will be the ultimate accomplishment.
