Leighlondt September

I am a self-motivated person with a great drive and ambition for life. I am bubbly, yet assertive. I have a passion for nature and specifically wine and the viticulture industry. I am a people person and love lending a helping hand where needed.

I have a natural talent to lead and I usually take charge of a challenging situation. I am a very curious person and want to learn from others to better myself. I am a disciplined individual and will ensure that I stick to set rules and/or procedures. I do however have the boldness to challenge or question the norm, and will make suggestions where I feel it necessary. 

With a passion for the industry, I am always open to new opportunities and possibilities. Very productive and aware of the fact that my capabilities reflect those of the company. Participation in various sports codes, and community projects.

I believe that my experience and will to learn shows out in my hard work.
