Zambia
I’m basically a calm person who easily gets along well with people largely because of my, somewhat, strong interpersonal skills. I’m also an easy going person that works with everyone. I strongly believe in vision and hard work to achieve results and add value to an operation. I like setting myself goals and keep them. Furthermore, I enjoy challenges and problem-solving at work.
