About
I am a keen, hardworking, and reliable person. Having been a single parent for many years I have many transferable skills such as budgeting, planning and organising, time management, disciplinary skills and problem solving. Over recent years I returned to education and gained several qualifications studying around my family.
Most recently I completed a master's degree in international accounting and finance which was challenging but interesting. I enjoy a challenge and love learning new skills. I currently work full time as a HR and payroll assistant.
