Sophie Wakefield

Friendly, enthusiastic and approachable, with professional experience in education and customer-facing roles. I communicate confidently, build rapport easily and adapt quickly to new environments. Comfortable working in fast-paced settings, I bring energy, a positive attitude and a strong work ethic. I am keen to take on a new challenge where I can build on my experience and make a positive contribution.
