Hi there! It's so nice to meet you! My name's Martine. I'm from the
lush little town of Swellendam, South Africa. I'm an avid traveller,
coffee lover, nature enthusiast and the proclaimed Minister of
Music and Good Vibes!
I consider myself to be a passionate, ambitious and digitally driven
person with stellar communication skills, a hunger to learn and the
ability to take any task given to me and complete it within a short
time frame using my Capricorn-esque precision, unique tone of
voice and effective research abilities.
