Summary
I am an ambitious, hardworking and positive person, who works well under pressure and thrives on challenges. I have excellent communication skills and I enjoy dealing with people. I enjoy learning new things and developing new skills. I am an enthusiastic professional with a Bachelor Honours Degree focused on Sports Therapy from London Metropolitan University. Recent experience as a Clinical Assistant Manager within a busy South Dublin Physiotherapy Clinic has helped me to become a much stronger Therapist in every regard.
