Isla

I am a motivated and enthusiastic student currently studying Fashion and Textiles at level 3, attending college three days a week and currently completing my Final Major Project. I have a strong passion for creativity and a clear ambition for pursuing a career within the fashion industry. Through my studies, I have developed key skills such as attention to detail, time management, organisation and the ability to work both creatively and practically on a range of projects.

I am a confident and friendly individual who enjoys meeting new people and working as part of a team, I can also work well independently. My involvement in school sports, including representing my school in both football and netball and attending a national netball tournament, has helped me develop strong teamwork, communication and resilience. I am also highly sociable and approachable, with the ability to build and maintain strong relationships with a wide range of people.

I have gained valuable experience supporting a primary school teacher, delivering lessons and working with younger children. I completed a leadership course in secondary school, where I planned and delivered a PE lesson to a visiting primary class that was voted the best by the group. I have upcoming work experience in a costume design setting, which I am eager to use as an opportunity to learn more about the fashion industry and develop practical workplace skills.

I am a reliable, hardworking and dedicated individual who is keen to learn, take on new challenges and grow both personally and professionally.
