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!
