------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Objective
dealing with people is one of my main strengths, I have spent most of my life honing and perfecting these skills and over the last 5 years in Penneys I have lost count of the amount of people that have contacted managers to rave about my customer services skills. My aim is to marry this to my IT training and pursue a career in sales

Skills
Dyslexia is by far my greatest asset, I have learnt to use the natural strengths that come with the gift. Public speaking is also another asset of mine, from an early age I was more than comfortable in the spotlight and during my school years I received formal training the toastmasters club. Making people smile and dealing with them in general would be one of my main skills. This is simply proven by my track record in Penneys.

Additional Information
Research Projects: The strengths of dyslexia My pride and joy would have to be the thesis that I wrote for my Honours degree. As a dyslexic I've always have a problem with the belief that dyslexia is a disability. I could never put my finger on it but it just seemed to help me far too much to be a disability for my thesis, I decided to investigate the strengths of dyslexia and created 2 flash games to exercise these strengths

Interests
Technology is one of the main interests in my life, I have always believed in its potential to help man kind and I look forward to a career which will help me promote and build future technologies.
One of the most important lessons my father taught me was "when in doubt do", over the years I have also learnt the value of trying everything at least once, seeking out new things and meeting new people is another one of my favourite pass times.
