Leila Galvao

I am an honest and focused individual who strives for maximum drive in fulfilling job responsibilities to promote an environment of positivity. I work well in cooperating with others for the benefit of the organisation which allows me to interact effectively with my peers. Due to being bilingual in English and Portuguese I can communicate in both languages.

I achieve success even when conformed with limited resources which gives me the ability to project composure and keep stress under control. I am now seeking a new opportunity to work ideally as a care assistant where I can further increase my current knowledge and experience and put it to efficient use, as well as display my vigour for care work.
