If I can help contribute to that "ding" moment, help you land a new project or career, be the arms or legs for your next initiative, provide instructions that everyone can follow, help build a flat pack wardrobe in 20 minutes instead of 3 hours, or help avoid injury or anything more catastrophic, it will give me the greatest motivation.
You'll find that I'm a curious person, creative, quick to learn, organised, and friendly to work with. My native language is English, and I speak fairly good French and Spanish, but bad Dutch. There was a time when I could also read and write Arabic, which being left-handed I loved. Unfortunately, the grey cells have since taken over!
