Teamwork
I have been involved in a variety of successful teams at work, during my studies and
through my outside interests. At Talisman I was a member of several project teams,
sometimes as the only Geoscientist, where my contribution was vital to the success of
projects worth several million pounds. During my time at the Officer Training Corps, I
also completed courses in leadership and led teams of up to ten on exercises.
