Since leaving my position as a teaching assistant I have been looking for that position that would value me as much as I value working for them and because of that I am now looking for a new role within the spectrum of Data Administration.

I am a positive, reliable and conscientious person, capable of working as a motivated team member or independently, adopting a practical approach to get the job done. I’m trustworthy, hardworking and reliable with excellent communication and IT skills. I believe my years of experience in a variety of roles gives me a rounded experience with plenty of ambition to go with it for a variety of positions.

I am able to adapt well to new situations and my previous experience over a variety of roles means I am an excellent organiser, being able to communicate effectively in a variety of mediums, and use my friendly personality to its extremes to assist in getting tasks completed. I will be able to fit straight into any team.

I am a seasoned professional with diverse experience across multiple industries, excelling in data administration, customer service, teaching, and sports coaching. She is known for her excellent communication skills, reliability, and adaptability.
