PERSONAL PROFILE
As an individual, driven by curiosity and eagerness to learn and grow. I have within the same year completed my BTech: Mechanical Engineering through the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (Bellville Campus) and obtained Diploma: Operations Management through Varsity College (Sandton Campus). Given an opportunity, I will be more an investment to the company as I will be studying for a Diploma in Project Management in January 2012. Some of my goals include a degree in Project Management, obtaining a GCC and registering as a professional with ECSA. As a responsible team player, working in a competitive and challenging environment is where I see myself working as this allows growth and equips one with the importance of understanding different departments within the company/organisation. By so doing, I get to see how each department relies on the other with one common objective.
