Emily Hobday

I'm a highly motivated and reliable gap-year student seeking full-time or part-time work before starting University. I recently completed a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Musical Theatre, where I developed strong communication, adaptability and teamwork skills. I have hands-on experience in customer service, childcare, leadership and I'm known for being enthusiastic, approachable, and quick to learn. I'm ready to bring a positive attitude and strong work ethic to any role.
