| Summary: | I have a solid background in financial analysis, with strong emphasis in account and office management as well as project management, personnel development, and customer services.
Having worked in management positions in various business sectors, I now wish to have a change in career, with a focus on using my skills for the good of the environment or charity, and not merely for profit orientated business.
I grew up in the Trossachs and as such have always had a passion for the countryside, and am now at a stage where I would like to spend less time office based, and perhaps have a more active role in a countryside based job.
I have attached herewith my CV for your perusal, and should you require any futher information, please do not hesitate to contact me. |
