Poppy McDonnell

I am a friendly, approachable and caring individual with a confident and positive attitude. I enjoy working with others and take pride in being organised, reliable and helpful in everything I do. I have a strong creative interest in art and have developed my own portfolio, which has helped me build skills in attention to detail, organisation and presentation.

I enjoy planning and completing work to a high standard, and I am always motivated to improve and learn new skills. I work well both independently and as part of a team, and I am quick to adapt to new situations. I am responsible, hardworking and always willing to take on new challenges.

I am now looking for an opportunity to gain experience, build my confidence and develop valuable skills in a working environment.
