CAREER
OVERVIEW
Over 10 years ago, through my higher education in Management, as well as a personal
recommendation, I accepted a permanent full time position in my current workplace operating in
international freight & logistics.
Although I undertook this challenge of venturing into a new industry, I never resigned from working
with the disadvantaged, due in part to the relationships I formed. Caring has become my weekend
job. I have continued working simultaneously on both positions for over 10 years.
Two years ago, I added part-time studies for Nursing Degree to my continuous personal and
professional development, without interrupting my work life. I expect to complete the above
mentioned degree in 2019.
