What I'm looking for

I am looking to grow within a team environment. I enjoy working both independently and within friendly team-work environments. I would like to be a part of a winning team that practices ethics and supports each other so as to achieve one defined goal as a collective. I would also like to explore new opportunities within my field of expertise and greater industry.

I have an Honours degree in Urban & Regional Planning, with experience in both Urban planning and site acquisition. I have 5+ years experience in the telecommunications space, where I oversee the turn-key site acquisition, permitting and building process for Cellular masts for big network companies.

Apart from Town Planning and Telecommunications, I also have other interests that I would like to practice professionally in the short to medium term. I have a keen interest in the lifestyle, Fashion and Make Up industries and I hope that, with some formal training, I will gain more insight into how I can convert these interests into sustainable business ideas and activities.
