I am a dedicated and hardworking person with 15 years’ experience working in Construction Industry. My professional development started with simple roles as receptionist, office admin leading into accounts and eventually procurement and supply chain. I am determined to achieve highest level of CIPS qualification in Procurement and Supply Chain Management and hoping in future to provide procurement consultancy for various projects across England, Northern Ireland and Ireland.
