PROFILE

I am a young professional, who has worked at a Junior Management level for 8 years. I am conscientious,

reliable and have excellent time management and interpersonal skills as well as patience, creativity and

innovation in my working practices. I pride myself on being results- driven. Doing a good job and achieving

the desired end result is my primary motivation. While I enjoy working on a project on my own, I am

particularly motivated by the buzz of working in a team. It’s very rewarding working closely with others who

share the same common goal.
