Zoe Smuts

I have infectious enthusiasm and a positive view of life. My schooling career which includes working with fellow students to complete assignments and tasks has taught me that I have the capacity to work independently and also as part of a team, loyalty, responsibility, initiative, and commitment. I am sure that I will be an asset to your department. My trustworthiness can be relied on at all times. I have integrity, which is above reproach and like to be put to test and welcome challenges.
