I have worked across an impressive range of fields in a 25-year career including: legal, translation, international institutions, insurance, IT support, language teaching and HR. I speak and write fluent French; my partner is French and our little boy is bilingual. I have worked in the UK, France and Luxembourg in fast-paced and challenging environments and am seeking my next challenge in a bilingual environment where I would get to use my French. I am a highly efficient multi-tasker with an excellent eye for detail and I take great pride in producing accurate work and in making a difference to my employer and beyond. I have discovered an interest in Human Resources in the past couple of years and would love to develop this interest further in a multinational environment.
