Amanda Achu

Enthusiastic and adaptable final-year BA Performance and Media student with a strong foundation in communication, creativity, and audience engagement. Through academic work and practical experience, I have developed the ability to connect confidently with a wide range of people, creating positive and engaging interactions—skills that translate directly into customer-focused retail environments. My experience as a Teaching Assistant and Drama Residential Assistant has strengthened my ability to work in fast-paced, people-oriented settings, where clear communication, patience, and teamwork are essential.

I am particularly interested in pursuing a career in retail and fashion, where I can combine my passion for style with my interpersonal strengths. I have a strong awareness of presentation and visual detail, and I enjoy creating environments that feel welcoming and engaging. I am highly motivated to learn, take initiative, and contribute positively to a team, whether through assisting customers, maintaining high visual standards, or supporting day-to-day store operations.

Reliable, approachable, and quick to adapt, I am eager to bring my transferable skills into a retail role where I can grow professionally while delivering excellent customer service and contributing to a strong brand experience.
