About Me:
I am a focused and determined person who sets myself high standards and strives to achieve them. I have enjoyed the first half of my working life working as a chef and server in hospitality and now wish to spend the second half of my working life looking after people in a more meaningful way. I believe the skills I have learnt such as dealing with people’s needs, coping under pressure, and working in a team environment will benefit my future employer greatly in my new career in healthcare.
