About

I have a diverse background in carpentry, maintenance and hospitality, always maintaining a positive attitude. I have a strong ability to learn fast and I commit all my energy through my work ethic and work mindset of achieving great results. I am confident in my tender driving abilities, carpentry skills and teak maintenance. I enjoy scuba diving, snorkeling and water sports. Participating in team sports has been a significant part of my character. These experiences have shaped me into a strong team player, always ready to give my all for the team. I volunteered as a firefighter for over nine years and this experience highlighted the importance of adhering to SOP's and taught me how effective communication and teamwork can boost morale
