Phoebe Ford

I am thorough, hardworking and conscientious. I believe myself to be reliable. I am keen to commence employment to enhance my life skills, and I am always keen to complete every task given. I believe myself to be dependable. I am able to work independently but also feel I am a good team player. I am able to stay calm in stressful situations and also help people around me stay calm. I work well in a team and just as well independently. I am active and alert and will make sure to accomplish whatever is asked of me. I am resilient and courageous and when I put my mind to something I will do it.
