Maria Hannan

Hi, my name is Maria. I recently completed my GCSEs and passed all of my subjects. I am now studying A-Levels at City Sixth Form and am currently looking for a part-time job where I can gain experience, build confidence, and continue developing new skills.

I would describe myself as friendly, confident, and reliable. I enjoy helping people and working with others as part of a team. I take pride in doing things properly and always try to put my best effort into everything I do, whether that is in my studies, running my own florist business, or helping people in everyday situations.

Running my own business has helped me become more organised and independent. It has also taught me important skills like customer service, time management, and problem-solving. Balancing school with running the business has helped me stay disciplined and responsible.

I am also a creative person and enjoy activities such as beauty, fashion, art, cooking, and baking. In my free time I like reading, keeping active, solving puzzles, and staying organised. Overall, I am enthusiastic about learning and gaining new experiences.

I am looking forward to bringing a positive attitude and strong work ethic to a workplace where I can contribute and continue to grow.
