Yamkela Nzuzo

I am a self-motivated individual driven by the passion to make a difference in people's lives. I take initiative in tasks given to me and execute them creatively using my expertise. I am a confident individual, with a strong work ethic. I believe in integrity and the importance of humility in order to grow and learn from others. While I appreciate the importance of team effort and cooperation to reach goals and complete projects, I also pride myself on my ability to work independently without constant supervision. I am a fast learner and I am always willing to learn new things every day. I always treat everybody with respect.
