Who am I?
I am a confident, optimistic, self motivated individual. I accept criticism and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. I am naturally a people’s person and anything that involves education be it learning or teaching is where my passion and strength lies. I can lead a team, work on my own and work as a team player.
