Introduction
Hi, I’m Tam. An extroverted, down-to-earth creative soul and a Jill of many trades.
A self-confessed shoe addict, and mostly known for my bubbly personality and terrible jokes. You will most likely find me at gym, chatting just as much as working out, or to my husbands dismay, at the mall ‘’just browsing.’’ I am a lover of being creative, learning new things, creating relationships and being slightly OCD with planning. I‘m a positive people person ready to join a team of like-minded colleagues I can feed off and collaborate together.
My previous co-workers can attest to the fact that I am focused, motivated and a lover of organising everything in sight. I am experienced at managing my own workload and clients. I work hard, especially when I’m passionate and excited. I am a light hearted soul, with a positive attitude and looking for my soul mate… Work soul mate that is.
