Being inquisitive by nature, I employ my mind towards a greater goal than just my immediate surroundings, and flexibly shift between team leader, project manager or part of the team. I am a team player, with strong leadership attributes. Wherever I go, I streamline processes, find better solutions to problems and aim to be an irreplaceable cog in the greater whole. I thrive in a corporate setting, but can equally comfortably shift into smaller businesses. My principal goal is to work myself up from middle management to the upper echelons of a business. My long-term goal is to find a company in which I can fully utilise my skills, learn more about an industry, and ultimately master new concepts.
