About
A motivated and hardworking up and coming university graduate, I am now looking to secure my first professional role as I take the next step in my career. I bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic and a willingness to learn, along with a reliable and punctual approach to everything I do. Throughout my time at university, I developed a methodical way of working and the confidence to take on new challenges.
I'm keen to continue building my skills in a practical environment where I can contribute to a team whilst also developing professionally. I'm particularly proud of completing my Duke of Edinburgh Award, which strengthened my leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities. I have always enjoyed sport, especially football as I am a season ticket holder at Stoke City football club, and previously played regularly as part of my school netball team.
During my earlier studies, I was selected as a Senior Prefect following a successful interview, which helped me grow my communication and organisational skills.
