Summary

I am goal-orientated and approach challenges with zeal and passion. I am willing to improve where I may have shortcomings. I am always willing to my share my knowledge with others and to help improve or develop on their skill sets. I am hardworking and believe that my work hours are determined by the amount of effort I need to put in. I perform well under pressure and I am a quick thinker that can solve problems as soon as they arise. I have a great passion for sport and believe that living a lifestyle that enhances health is of paramount importance. It is my mission to inform the public at large as well as every client about the value and importance of nutrition and following a healthy balanced lifestyle. Through my years of coaching and being involved with athletes I have realised the important impact a healthy lifestyle can have on your wellbeing and how it can assist in reaching the goals you have set for yourself.
