PERSONAL PROFILE
I am a graduate Mechanical Engineer with a Master’s degree in Engineering Project Management. I
have good critical thinking abilities and well-developed problem solving and negotiation skills. I
consider myself to be honest and confident and I enjoy working with people. I also have the drive to
challenge ways of working to get work done, because projects are all about people and making things
happen. I can work independently, I am methodical in my professional work, I demonstrate good
attention to details and can follow a detailed plan.
I am able to work in multi-cultural teams on projects where the highest standards are routinely
demanded. I can assist with delivering high-value projects in diverse organisations and across
different geographies. I take directions well and work hard to manage stakeholders' expectations.
I was also honoured for being classified as one of the most distinguished students in high school
based on which I was granted full scholarship to study abroad. I was offered places in Halliburton and
Baker Hughes as a Graduate Field Engineer in 2012/13. However, I preferred to continue studying
and gain an MSc degree in project management.
