About Me
- A people-person who has developed high communication skills through hundreds of interviews in previous experience
- A Big Four product who has more than 5 years of "challenging" experience, where job becomes your passion
- A strategic and structured thinker who strives for success
- An open-minded Pacific Islander who adventurously left her town of 45 thousand people (Port-Vila) to a town of 98 thousand people (Nouméa), then to a city of 24 million people (Shanghai) and to a city of 2.5 million people (Dubai)
- An adventurous individual who loves travelling: From New Caledonia to Australia to China (Shanghai - Yangshuo - Guangzhou) to South Korea to Cambodia to Vietnam to UAE (Dubai-Abu Dhabi) to France to Belgium to India (Delhi-Agra-Mumbai) to Malaysia to Australia to Vanuatu and back to New Caledonia .... all in 13 months!
- A determined positive thinker who would do "whatever it takes" to find solutions to problems and refuses to accept "Not possible"
