About me
To sum myself up in four words, I am proactive, adaptable, innovative and conscientious. Credited with strong interpersonal skills, I endeavour to find common ground and build effective relations from that foundation. A strong team player, I earn trust and credibility through hard work, a flexible approach, a positive “can do” attitude, competence and consistently high standards (personal and professional). I strive for excellence - not perfection. Accustomed to working with high pressure and to tight deadlines, when used appropriately, I find that having a good sense of humour can foster creativity, aid problem solving, reduce stress and also build trust. Together with strong written and oral communication skills - fluent in English, Spanish and (self taught), I practice “naïve listening skills” to achieve results. Listening is an often overlooked, but essential requirement in defining and meeting needs. Driven, I take responsibility for my personal development and this position would definitely strengthen my future career progression. I thrive on a challenge and embrace every opportunity to fill skills gaps. Attention to detail and sound time management skills have helped me to successfully balance formal learning, with targeted voluntary roles designed to enhance my leadership, negotiation, project and event management skills - starting but not ending with managing the Graphics department's contribution at my university's annual exposition! Ambitious, I am only applying for roles and companies where I see a clear alignment of values and where I feel I can deliver a strong contribution. (Integrity, trust, industry, respect and reliability are amongst my core values).
