About Me

Focused aiming to be the constant professional continually developing and improving to give a polished performance for high quality programming and delivery. I am both my best and worst critic working to identify areas in which things can be tweaked in order to deliver an engaging performance.

Sociable and interactive well-traveled individual with a relaxed personality engaging to learn from others experience. Intelligent conversations for educational programmes that understand the cultural differences.

Looking to also find roles and opportunities that also challenge my existing skills and experience.
