Amelie Gadsden

Having completed a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Social Sciences at Russell group university, King's College London, I have learnt life skills that aid me within future careers. I grasped the importance of communication, and pushing yourself to gain achievements. I also learnt properly how to meet and engage with new people, adjusting to work in groups, whilst also being fully comfortable working individually.

A significant part of my character is my kindness, my ability to listen and provide advice, and also my creativity. One of my strongest hobbies is my love for sewing, as well as reading and writing.
