Personal Statement
I enjoy being in the company of others and I always look where I can help other people. Enjoys socializing at work and outside the workplace; I know how important it is to take responsibility for myself and for the job that I do. Within my present job I need to be able to show an air of calm as I need to be four people in one. Being self-employed I need to be well-motivated to do all my own marketing, PR; I need to be able to give great customer service to those who I treat and meet at all the events and therapy sessions which I attend, keeping my own accounts. And then I am the therapist as well. I enjoy carrying out aromatherapy and massage treatments on a variety of different people from all ages and backgrounds.
