Summary
Excels at doing my work on my own, aswell as in a team setting. I like to challenge myself with new tasks and the puzzles that comes with it, but finds the charm in repetetive tasks. The type of person who finds a lesson in most situations and in personal setting dont take myself too serious and always up for a laugh with coworkers. The type of person who would rather show up half hour before appointment, than be on the dot. I like to be prepared when I face challenges, however excels in stress management not afraid to tackle issues head on.
