Paula Caruana

I consider myself to work well in challenging, fast-paced, high-stress and deadline-oriented environments, individually or as part of a team. I easily adapt to new environments and consider myself very friendly with new people. Working and studying overseas has helped me to develop a sense of independence and responsibility.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, developed initially during my studies at the University of Sussex and later on brushed up and adapted to the professional environment while working at MBB, in Malta and in Brussels, and at the EU Secretariat.
• I consider myself to be confident, articulate, and demonstrate professional speaking abilities- and presentation skills.
• Basing myself on my work experience, I have always shown personal motivation to work collaboratively in a team environment and always took advantage of this as an opportunity to learn from others. Eagerness and ability to work in teams has however not restrained my ability to work individually and to take responsibility of tasks assigned to me independently. The results produced from working independently amplify the qualities of a person, and having this mindset, I always strive to deliver top quality work when assigned individual tasks.
