About

I am a dependable and hard working individual with experience in hospitality, creative freelance work, and voluntary roles organising community events and supporting vulnerable individuals. I am confident working in fast-paced and high-pressure environments while maintaining professionalism and strong communication skills, and committed to providing a high-quality, person-centred service. I have previously been trusted to handle sensitive information and am comfortable working to tight or changing deadlines.

I am looking to continue to develop my skills in a role that can further my personal and professional growth.
