About
I have just finished studying Web Design and Development at Napier University. I have worked in various sectors including support, administration and customer service. For the last nine years I have worked in homeless support, where I assist residents in overcoming challenges and achieving their goals, this requires a lot of careful listening.
Every shift is different and a lot of problems come up that need to be dealt with sensibly and efficiently. I enjoy dynamic environments, enhancing team efficiency and having positive relationships. My finished webpages are on my website and I am currently working on a Python webpage and a Unity based Harry Potter game.
My hope is to have a professional placement from January 2025.
