About me:

Candidate Info :
I am a highly motivated and results driven professional, with experience over the past 12 years as a business owner (gym) and personal trainer, and prior to that I spent 13 years as a mechanic. I am a strong planner with excellent problem-solving skills, and I am able to readily adapt to change and am always looking to improve systems and processes. Having well developed organisational and time management skills allows me to manage multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality in service. As a well presented, easy going, team player I have a keen eye for attention to detail and excellent written and verbal communication skills. I am a competent individual who does the job with a positive attitude, determination, efficiency, initiative and most importantly, with respect for others. Eager to expand my knowledge base and try new experiences, I have a proven track record in achieving results in any given task.
