Summary


My 4+ years in the client focused roles has provided me with an insight to the most important ways of keeping customers happy and receiving positive reviews for the organisations that l have worked for previously. I aim to contribute towards reaching the organisation's vision through fully utilising the technical (apply specialised knowledge), Human (communication, analytical, empathy) and Conceptual (analyse and come up with problem focused solutions) skills and knowledge that l have attained in my previous years of experience. I look forward to gaining more work related experience as l broaden my career prospects as an individual whilst positively representing your organisation and to leveraging my skills and experiences to position your organisation for success from the start.
