I am self motivated & committed to safety. I have been told I am very easy to get along with and have excellent communication skills. I have regularly received feedback from both my supervisors & workmates that they enjoy working with me as I am easy to approach and readily share my knowledge and experiences with the team. My supervisors have also commended me for my capability to accept when I am wrong and learn from these experiences.
