Profile Summary

 
• I was educated in the south of France, where I studied for and obtained a "baccalaureat" with the mention "AB".

 
• I have obtained an honours degree in economics from the University of Aberdeen.

 
• During my school years, and since leaving university, I have been employed in a wide variety of functions, but am

now a full-time information technology contractor.

of applications destined for rollout on a new NT4 based platform. Also studying for the last 2 exams needed for
“MCSE” certification.
 

Educational Background

 
1991-1995 MA (Hons) Economic Science, University of Aberdeen.
My degree course provided me with a broad knowledge of modem economic
analysis, both theoretical and applied, as well as reinforcing my ability to acquire and extract specialised information.  The mathematical section of the course improved my numeracy and acquainted me with a wide variety of analytical tools.
My final year dissertation, "An Economic Analysis of Field Development, with
particular reference to the role of FPSO'S" saw me involved in the widespread
collection of data from a multitude of sources, including direct contact with  major oil companies.  This was the part of my course that I gained the most  from, in that it involved the use of various computer based applications, and  taught me to allocate time efficiently.

1989-1991 Baccalaureate "G3", Institut d'Etudes Tertiaires.
Most of my education was conducted in the south of France, the obtention of a
"baccalaureate" being the intended culmination of the exercise.  I finally achieved this goal following many years spent learning to adapt to a new cultural environment and to operate in a foreign tongue.  Despite the obvious difficulties incurred by a sudden change in linguistic and cultural environment, I am now very grateful to have enjoyed such an experience, and I rate my mastery of the French language as, by far, my most valued skill and asset.

1987-1989 Brevet des Colleges, Lycee Albert Premier, Monaco.
The "Brevet des Colleges" is, I believe, the French equivalent of GCSEs,
the main difference being that the French qualification covers a "package" of subjects, whereas the British one treats individual subjects separately.
