Personal Statement I am a free thinker, which helps me in being adaptable; I also see this as one of my greatest strengths, this helps me to work on several different projects of different nature at the same time. But I am also very specific about the type of work I am involved in. I am careful about the details of my work and I am specific about completing them on time.
