Summary

Due to my training as a journalist, I have sufficient experience in putting together a team, motivating it and deploying everyone according to their abilities. In my teams, I always emphasised the importance of creating a trusting working relationship in which everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed coming to work. I have learnt to adapt quickly to new situations and to solve any problems that arise immediately. I am used to working independently and taking on responsibility.
