My professional experience is currently moderate, but my motivation, my training, my curiosity, my perseverance and my good mood will quickly remedy that : ^)
I am responsive and organized daily. I always find a solution to my problems, I am pro-active, and therefore have good anticipation skills. I am respectful and humble.
