About
I worked as a qualified chef for 7 years before changing careers to a corrosion protection quality control specialist. With six years under my belt I am ready to take on another challenge in the spirit of growth. I have experience both those fields, although more recently writing professional specifications, work instructions, inspection reports and data capturing. I have very good communication skills and work well in a team environment, but can also manage my time well when working alone. I read, I make my own pickles and I am the vocalist for a Afrikaans death metal band.
