OfW Member CV

Summary

I value honesty, privacy, tranquility & serenity, loyalty and justice. I am a good-natured individual with a practical understanding of systems, who tackles problems in a creative and nurturing manner. I have an assertive quality that occasionally surfaces in my need for justice. I am a workaholic, who enjoys taking breaks to avoid burn-out, and a critical thinker. My critical thinking helps me to stay grounded for a realistic world view and see the negative to implement preventative measures and problem solve. Working alone or in a team- I am a professional. My work experiences is broad and extensive across various work fields, some delving into Managerial, Supervisory roles, Finance, Stores, data capturing and secretarial roles.
