Maree Hanna

I am a self-motivated and enthusiastic worker who enjoys problem solving, allowing me to utilise my natural sense of logical thinking and reasoning. I have a vast array of skills and strengths, gained through my experiences of working in both childcare and catering. I am a creative person who enjoys putting new ideas forward when faced with challenges, and I consider myself to be a fast learner.

I am currently looking for new employment since relocating to Cornwall, and I am keen to utilise my existing skills and experience, as well as learning new ones. I am available on an immediate basis and would be happy to complete any training required in order to perform my role to the highest standard.
