Interests
I attempt to maintain a high level of fitness – (frequently to be found in the gym). In May 2014 my friend and I climbed part way up Mount Kilimanjaro and that September (2014) after finishing my contract in Tanzania I enrolled on a 6 week set of RYA sailing courses in Cape Town and the Western Cape. Completing successfully the RYA Day Skipper Sailing Certification as well as Competence in Marine Fire Fighting/VHF Radio/Radar Operation/Diesel Engine/Powerboat and Jet Ski Certifications.
I am a conscientious, hardworking, highly motivated, dynamic and versatile person with a lively and outgoing personality treating each new day as a new adventure; this is reflected in my attitude to life and work.
