Rahim Khan

I am a mature, focused, and dynamic individual who can multi-task successfully and respond to new tasks quickly and effectively. Most importantly, I am polite, friendly, and a calm person that adapts well to a new environment and has an excellent eye for detail. Having already achieved an undergraduate degree within Politics, I believe this highlights my ability to deal with complex problems using a calculated approach that stems from a high level of critical thinking.
