Peter Turnbull

One of my strongest skills is my versatility resulting from wide non-specific interests, varied curricular and extra-curricular activities and an observant & analytical approach to tasks. I am often focused and detailed while also being pragmatic about results. I can often switch between very different tasks quickly and smoothly, and able to balance the different requirements of a variety of tasks and people.

I am able to see both small & big picture allowing me to plan and strategise for the short & long-term.
