I consider myself an enthusiastic and passionate person who is confident, reliable and hardworking with good theoretical knowledge that I apply with a strong sense of duty in practice. I cope well under changing circumstances while considering any challenges as a learning opportunity. Peers, colleagues and supervisors have described me as professional in appearance and behaviour with good counselling skills and a practical approach to implementing my recommendations in a creative way. I have a positive approach to life and work well in a team and independently, advocating for nutrition in every space I find myself.
