About Me: I am the kind of person that tackles a task with enthusiasm and drive, both professionally and personally. No task is too big or small for me - I have grown exponentially within my previous roles because of this exact trait. I love puzzles and problem solving, therefore new challenges are exciting me. I am a great communicator, and have honed my people skills with care and consideration over the years In my spare time I enjoy the great outdoors - hiking and swimming. Then I'll come home to create new dishes in the kitchen and relax with some good music.
