About Me

"Great things in Business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people"

Steve Jobs

Hi, my name is Teresa and thank you for visiting my portfolio.

I would like to give you a short “About me” here, which will be great for you to understand that I am right candidate for the role.

I like to achieve tangible, measurable, real-time results.  I like to take the initiative and I always keep the bottom-line in mind. I will bring enthusiasm, optimism and a drive to succeed with team projects. Solving problems with people and results in mind.

I enjoy making presentations to either small or large groups and I always sense that I am able to captivate my audience with my engaging style of presentation.

Life is always about learning new things and realising that there might be a better way of doing things. I never mind going the extra mile and I enjoy challenging myself as I have found that continuous learning is healthy for both mind and body.

In my free time, I am practicing the Japanese Martial Art of “Kendo”, as it helps me to build mental  discipline and encourages me to be totally focused before each action I need to take.

I also like to take some time in practicing meditation as a way to clear and still my mind.
