Personal Characteristics:
- I'm a dedicated member of an organisation: I'm valuable as both a member
of a team and when left to my own devices.
- As a very outgoing person, I embrace initiative and ensure that my
results are something I can be proud of! I'm also a glass-half-full person,
and enjoy all experiences, even the biggest challenges, seeing them as
another building block in the road to success.
- I don't like leaving tasks uncompleted: quality results and knowing I've
done my best is a must.
- I thrive on being creative: new ideas, new slants on old ideas and
combining ideas to form something new is something I pride myself on.
Whether I'm painting, pitching an idea or polishing my conversational
skills, I'm constantly creating! I also don't consider myself a mime, so
'in-the-box-' is out of the question!
- My penchant for the visual allows me to see all angles: the completed
image, or the smallest detail hidden within.
- I make peace, not war, so my conflict resolution and negotiation skills
are impeccable.
- Problem solving also is no problem for me: I see them not as problems,
but as challenges, that simply need a different approach!
- Although not a perfectionist, I strive for and work to create perfection
in my work.
- My organisational skills are the product of real-world experience: I can
create an appropriate and realistic timeline for work completion, and I am
committed to sticking to it.

Hobbies and Other Interests
Being a very creative and social person, I like to occupy my time with many
different hobbies and interests. On the creative side, I enjoy painting
(anything really, furniture, canvasses or murals), drawing and any other
kind of creative projects.
Entertainment plays an important part in my life in the form of live music
gigs and theatre performances, festivals, parties, events, braais, movies,
and art shows. I'n a fan of any local bands, and follow the local music
scene quite closely. I'm the first in line when an international act
decides to tour South Africa, and also the one wearing the band T-shirt,
and singing my heart out.
I'm a social creature, and I enjoy spending my time at events, parties and
any social gathering. I'm also fond of chilling at home, and relaxing. I'm
highly adaptable to any situation I find myself in, and enjoying
discovering new places and events.
