Personal profile More about me: I am an outgoing and bubbly person with a strong personality, motivation and drive. I intend completing my A-Levels over the next year and moving onto a University Degree studying Design. I have very strong visual perceptual skills which comes in handy with merchandising and housekeeping. I can easily see a solution for most problems; and therefore have the ability to analyse and solve problems effectively. I have strength of character; I am a non-smoker and a person of sober habits, as well as high morals. Prior to relocating to the UK, I was educated from Grade 00 to Grade 9 at a Christian Private School in South Africa. I am confident and have great people skills which I developed by being involved with many social events throughout my life as well as Hostessing at restaurants. I am an extremely positive person and I start each day with a positive attitude and a smile. I work well under pressure, and have had the opportunity to prove I am level-headed in an emergency situation, even those of a medical nature. I am very health-conscious and my main hobby is gym and keeping as active as possible.
