Hennie Van der Westhuizen

I am a devoted, hardworking individual, who does not back away from challenges.  I am adaptable and can improvise in unforeseen situations. Over the years I have learned to stay patient, calm and focused under pressure.  I perform extremely well in stressful situations.  

I am emotionally strong and express my opinion when needed, but I am not opinionated.  I set high standards for myself, always striving to achieve my goals.  I am an overall positive person and a fast learner. 

In previous work environments, I have learned the importance of teamwork, therefore I am well-conditioned to work with others as well as individually. Using insight and good communication skills, I find it easy to connect with people.
