About Me
Having always committed time and effort to progressing with a career, working hard and achieving results is in my nature. I've put my career on hold for now to explore the places I've always wanted to, engross myself in the culture and expand the range of people and experiences that the world has to offer.
My friends would say I am outgoing, friendly and love a challenge as I'm pretty competitive. I grew up playing sports: rugby, football and cricket, but will try my hand at anything. My latest love is music which I am alway looking to find new elements to.
An ideal role would provide me with a challenge and a sense of achievement at the end, with the flexibility within the role to pursue travel plans where they might arise. A sociable, proactive team would be perfect as a working environment and a place where you would get the best out of me!
