About
I am an ambitious and personable professional with experience across education, recruitment support, HR administration, customer service and market research. Throughout my career, I have developed strong communication, relationship-building and organisational skills while working in fast-paced environments where adaptability, professionalism and problem-solving were essential. After qualifying as a secondary school English teacher and gaining valuable experience in education for 2 years, I recognised that my strengths are better suited to a commercial environment where I can build relationships, communicate with people and contribute to business growth.
I am now seeking opportunities within corporate organisations where I can continue developing professionally and make a meaningful impact using the transferable skills I have learnt as my time as an early career teacher. Alongside my professional experience, I completed an international political campaign internship in California, strengthening my confidence in public engagement, persuasive communication and working collaboratively within a high-performance environment.
