Personal Life
Due to a good family background and high moral education, I have come to realise that the three key essential qualities in the work place are reliability, honesty and hard work. I am a conscientious worker who is always looking for a challenge. In my work experience I have been trained to deal with people on both a one to one level up to classroom and public speaking situations. In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends, general sport/fitness, outdoor activities, music and travel.
