By nature I am a creative professional, paying special attention to detail in all that I do, both in my personal life and at work. Integrity, diplomacy and discretion are key to my self motivation and initiative with unbridled commitment and enthusiasm for projects. I enjoy analytics and troubleshooting, and continually push the boundaries to constantly learn new things and innovate.

With an interpersonal sensitivity, I am easy to approach in all situations and and circumstances, whilst I calculate the options before responding. I can however lead a team with strength, drive and encouragement.

Most of my working life has been freelance or self employed based which means I have learned many things the hard way but learned nonetheless, which in turn has provided me with a greater appreciation for the simple things in life.
