Aravin Kiritharan

I am a hardworking and determined individual willing to excel in all tasks given. I have experience in retail which has improved my communication skills as well as my ability to adapt to various scenarios. I have 7 years of experience in speech and drama, which has increased my confidence in public speaking and presentations. This has provided transferable skills such as building relationships with others and working efficiently in a team.
