Objective I am a driven, ambitious and enthusiastic individual, with high expectations and a drive to excel on all aspects of my life. I have filled various leadership positions from a very young age that has contributed significantly to both my people and motivational skills. My management skills have been refined through working in fast paced, stressful environments with numerous staff members to oversee, which has contributed to excellent initiative and problem solving skills. I have excellent time management skills and am well capable of making quick rational and informed decisions; this makes it possible for me to stay calm and collected in times of crisis. As an academic and educator, I strive to instil in my students a passion for interior design, motivate them to excel, encourage them to dream, urge them to read and question ideas, to become confident designers that not only conceptualise spaces, but also inspire those around them.
