Summary

After two serious illnesses, I decided to take a hiatus from the corporate world for a few years to focus on my health and develop my passion for creativity, namely, cooking and photography.


Returning to the workforce, I am easily adaptable working from home, or in an office environment. Preferably a mix of both.
