Gabriel Slater

I am a friendly all round worker looking to learn and grow. I have been working for a number of years in hospitality and am now looking to extend my skills and transfer my expertise into an office based role. I can adapt to a variety of tasks asked and I am a fast learner who picks up on patterns easily and tries to optimise productivity when possible. I am currently using this time to study and independently learn more complex computer software to use in my future position.
