Personal Profile

I am a hard working & conscientious team member, with a passion to succeed, utilising excellent self & people management skills, I am able to consult, advise, coach, & convince colleagues & clients alike. I am a strong communicator, comfortable at all levels of the corporate pyramid, having a very professional persona.

Having decided to relocate to Moscow, I have listened to my peers, & the opportunity which interests me, & best fits my skill set, is to become a teacher of English as a foreign language. Whilst previously studying Horticulture, I lived in The Netherlands for a year, so this won't be a completely new experience.
