Experience

Highly motivated and results-driven individual with well-developed communication skills, creative flair and an ability to liaise confidently at all levels. I recently assisted the Hire-to Retire and Training & Learning departments in creating a set of training courses using several learning assets (eLearning, videos, virtual training, classroom decks).

Previously, I helped the Customer & Sales team and the Corporate NCE team improve their commercial material to be embedded into their platform. I liaised with SME's to design, create and manage the production of engaging content to inform a global audience of professionals about the latest learning strategies, knowledge tools and market examples, and to enable them to work together via digital and media tools.

I have a combination of qualities that ensure successful delivery. These include multi-tasking, good quality design skills, software and hardware knowledge, an ability to liaise at all levels, a determination to succeed and excel, strong communication skills, and a drive to work hard and absorb new challenges.

Having worked in a range of demanding business environments I have a good understanding of the challenges of delivering timely results in an intensely competitive environment. I can adapt quickly when new skills are required. I am flexible, ready to come in early and leave the office late or even work remotely. I am also a good team player, responsible and enthusiastic. I give my best in everything I do.
