PERSONAL ATTRIBUTES

During my professional history, I have managed to further enhance my communication, planning, analytical and vital educational skills. This had been journeyed through the ascending difficulty of every post I have held from the beginning of my occupational existence to date.

This said, it must be noted that every position has held its unique challenges, thus resulting in a unique lesson learnt in every half step taken through my occupational history. In turn, this has strengthened my mental stamina, increasing my level of professionalism, resulting in a “Driven” individual.

Given the chance to relive and alter this journey, I would not change my taken path, instead, I would further better my achievements and learn from my flaws as these are always the hardest learnt lesson, yet the best platforms to harness experience!

Thank you for taking the time to screen my CV

Kind regards
