About
A compassionate and motivated individual with a broad background in care, customer service, administration, and marketing. Living with ADHD has developed my creativity, adaptability, and empathy, which I bring to every role. I am currently seeking a part-time opportunity that aligns with my strengths and long-term aspirations, particularly within healthcare, such as phlebotomy or dental nursing.
I am committed to personal growth and plan to retake key GCSEs to strengthen my qualifications and future opportunities.
