PURR THE TIGRESS FROM CENTRAL ASIA.
I am a Tigress, the major feline of the Asian continent - known scientifically as
Panthera tigris. I live in the Amur-Ussuri region, on the border of Eastern Russia and
China - where fossil studies suggest the tiger originated. This area has an unusual,
almost tropical, climate.
My parents thought I was ‘perfect’ but could not spell the word.
I bring common sense and a realistic approach to work whilst making work fun,
but I always maintain a sense of balance and proportion.
I enjoy working with others to make things happen but prefer to have time to
myself when teamwork is not essential.
I am very particular about personal appearance, health, and hygiene.
I believe that ‘There is a place for everything, and everything should be in its
place.’ and ‘If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.’
