Summary

I moved from South Africa when I was 18 and started behind the bar. I found an interest in technology and started working at Vodafone retail in 2016, I quickly developed a love for security and soon found myself in the position I am now with hard work and a compelling urge to learn more. I am now moving to Spain as my fiance lives in Spain, and I am looking to expand my skills and hopefully continue my career in the Vodafone family, as well as To seek and maintain full-time position that offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills.
