CV

I am highly self-motivated with excellent personal skills, together with good qualifications and work experience. I am creative, methodical, logical and reliable and I am able to work efficiently in both a team environment or on an individual basis. My personal characteristics allow me to form good working relationships with my colleagues at all levels.
I am currently setting up my own business to provide information solutions and analysis - www.thedataoffice.co.uk.
Having had a predominately analytical based career to date and being solely responsible for data management, integrity and provision within a healthcare environment, my communication skills both written and oral are of a high standard.
These skills have enabled me to effectively ascertain the data requirements requested by various stakeholders and to present the data in a meaningful format. I have strong organisational skills, which have been developed working within extremely tight deadlines. This has given me experience in managing my time effectively, prioritising workloads and working well under pressure. My current role has enabled me to further develop my technical skills, product development and project lifecycle knowledge and quality & compliance skills.
