About me
A B O U T M E
When I think about work and what I can bring to a company or team, I think about how I am a very adaptable person who is able to commit to most tasks with confidence and a positive attitude. If a task is challenging I will look at it logically and is able to think outside the box to overcome the challenge. I am also comfortable expressing myself clearly, and likes to voice ideas in order help a team perform effectively and efficiently.
My outlook is that every day is an opportunity to learn something new and gaining new knowledge is something I find exciting as self-improvement builds character and enables greater ideas.
Being a motivated and adaptable person, I am very organised and can carry out multiple tasks at one time. With that in mind I enjoy working in a fast paced environment, being driven by high standards and working well under pressure.
Growing up in Newcastle with parents of a military background and also serving in the Army myself, I found has gave me a humble attitude but also the drive to achieve more and never settling for second best.
I pride myself on hard work and determination, along with the desire to keep learning.
