Bio
Gayan Jayasinghe
I have known Andrea as a Lecturer at London School of Marketing. She is a committed lecturer with experience in teaching students from various social and cultural backgrounds, at leading UK academic institutions such as Anglia Ruskin University and University of Northampton. She possesses sound administrative, verbal communication and written skills along with constructive and effective teaching methods that promote a stimulating learning environment for students obtain higher grades. She is able to work in a managerial role or as part of team, having the proven ability to successfully work to tight schedules and deadlines. She would be a great asset to any organisation seeking strong marketing and academic professionals to drive their business.

Andrea and I worked together at London School of Marketing Lanka in Colombo, Sri Lanka. She was one of the best team mates I had the privilege working with. And having her in my team helped me achieve my team goals successfully and on time. She was also a great strength to me especially when I had to accept new projects and she was someone whom I could always count on. Andrea is not only smart and intelligent she is also a person who gives her fullest attention to whatever she does and she doesn't require any supervising once she is told what to do. This made my task as a manager easier. She was always independent. However, what I really admire about Andrea is her unique trait of taking ownership and responsibility. I still remember this instance when she fell sick severely and still wanted to finish off her work as she had planned. Keep doing excellent work Andrea and I wish you all the best for anything and everything that comes your way.
