PERSONAL INTERESTS
I am an out going and friendly person with a great sense of humour
therefore enjoy socialising and meeting new people i.e. going out for
lunch, shopping and wine bars. I have an eye for detail, which attracts my
creative and artistic skills to paper and nails. I love music and playing
computer puzzle games and I love a challenge to succeed.
