Personal Profile
I have five years experience in finance, accounting and administation; I have used my
adaptive skills to work successfully within the textile, commercial and estate agency sectors.
I have progressively acquired positions that required higher levels of responsibility and
commitment. I have used my initiative, leadership and organisation skills to enable expansion
and worked with marketing and sales teams to strengthen the fiscal positions of various
companies, be it locally or overseas. I enjoy group participation as I often get new ideas by
collaborating with others, but I am equally comfortable solely overseeing and completing
projects. I am fluent in English and Spanish.
