Throughout my career, I’ve worked in just about all and every environment, possible, especially within Africa, namely Mozambique Angola, Mali and consulted with Countries such as Zambia, DRC, Botswana, Ghana, Sierra Leone, etc., … In saying this, I’ve had to challenge and adapt to cultural differences, business challenges and different modis operandi, as to each region, that I might have been in, abroad. These challenges brough out the best of me, with regards to having to adapt new sales and business principles, changing as well as adapting to different and often, off-set, International Business practices. I’m an extremely motivated, positive thinking individual and exceptionally challenge oriented. I enjoy meeting and often superseding targets/goals to further advance myself as well as continually grow, personally as well as in a professional capacity, within the Company I’m working for. I’ve had to reinvent the wheel when it comes to understanding what, is generally experienced/accepted, as the norm in business. I therefore seek and to maintain a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and also problem-solving. I’m an organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. I maintain a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I'm a dedicated professional with history of meeting company goals utilizing consistent and organized practices. I’m skilled in working under pressure and adapting to new situations and challenges to best enhance the organizational brand. I'm a people person with a passion for personal and professional growth within all that I pursue. I'm a foodie and have a love for coffee, being extroverted, I'm a socialite.I have grown within my career, always imprinting on self-development, team development, strategic thinking and then putting it to action. I believe in ethical practices and also minding my surroundings and where I might need to adapt and grow rather than become stagnant. Finally, I always innovate, including creativity and growing through new ideas and improvement strategies. In short, I’m driven to grow and advance continually throughout my professional and personal journey within this adventurous journey, we call life.
