Activities

I think what sets me apart from the rest of the applicants is that I’m very much a people person. I see myself as a leader, a person that works well with others and is a team player. I am someone who is willing to help others. I am a hard worker and fast learner; that follows protocols. I have a creative and agile mind that is able to think outside the box if needed.
