Summary

Working in childcare, delivery, and management positions has afforded ample opportunities to develop an extensive variety of skills. Some of these include mastery of the written word, communication and people skills, strong problem solving abilities, and the ability to thrive under pressure. The biggest challenge I've overcome at work has been rectifying boredom. It lead to the discovery that challenging and/or busy work with tight deadlines is personally satisfying.
