I work well within a team and value other people’s contributions and opinions but am not afraid to voice my own and defend them in the face of opposition. I am a quick learner and take the initiative in finding solutions to problems that I am confronted with or things that I don’t understand. Having completed my tertiary studies at the end of 2003, I spent the subsequent 3 years traveling and working abroad. This was a great learning experience for me both intellectually and socially. It was a period in which I established my independence as I was completely reliant on myself in every possible way. I was naturally exposed to various types of people and situations that I would normally not have encountered in my social circles in South Africa. Through this and having been reared in Cape Town during a period of great transition in South Africa’s history, I believe myself to be a tolerant and open-minded person, respecting all people’s differences and beliefs. I am articulate in both written and spoken word. I have excellent attention to detail. I work well under pressure and am accustomed to working to deadline. I am competent in Microsoft Office; Internet and Email. Hobbies I am passionate about traveling, experiencing new things and meeting people from all walks of life. One of my favourite pastimes is reading. I also enjoy socializing, watching movies, listening to music and writing.
