I have always worked in and around projects but only recently have i been directly involved with them (last 3 - 4 years).  Most of my early work experience has been around sales and customer support, becoming more involved with projects as my support experience grew.

I am analytical by nature and this is what has taken me towards the planning side of things and is something i enjoy greatly.

I am also completing an Open University Mathematics Degree to help assist with my analytical skills and career progression
