Summary

I have reflected on my strengths as well as the subjects that I enjoyed in both school and college to form a career decision. My interests at the moment are varied, I am ambitious and enjoy working with children, receiving a Cúram (Care) award while in secondary school. I am a reliable and good team player with a personable nature and positive communication style, useful for collaborating on projects and group work in which I have experience in school and college settings. I am hardworking, flexible and willing to learn. As a worker, I am also meticulous and conscientious as well as a keen problem solver, with creative flair and an eye for detail.
