I initially worked in the Hospitality industry, while training to become a Fabricator Welder and Folder. Ever since, I have been in various roles in fabrication and welding workshops. I have trained and have become proficient in Manual Handling, Fabrication, Welding, Machining and Bench Fitting, Electrical Installation and Folding on several different models of break presses; all of which I programmed, set and adjust to the specifics of the profile (stainless steel and mild steel).

I am a practical, accurate and creative individual with high levels of enthusiasm and energy. I am a sociable person so I find it easy working in a team, but I am also able to work independently without supervision. I am focused, with excellent attention to detail and am a hardworker. I am eager to learn new skills and will accept any challenge presented to me, approaching it methodically and using the problem-solving skills I have gained throughout my career. I have the ability to understand technical plans and drawings and have knowledge of safe working practices. I recognize the importance of working as a team member and enjoy supporting colleagues and management to reach our common goals.
