Summary

I am a highly organised and people-focused professional with a strong background in communication, media, and customer-facing roles. I Hold a BA (Hons) in Media Communications (2:1) and a BTEC in Journalism (Distinction) , with practical experience gained through roles at Devon Air Radio and Bedrock Radio . I hope to bring my excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as strong attention to detail, and a proven ability to work accurately with information, systems, and deadlines to any task. I am energetic and a friendly recent graduate with excellent communication and interpersonal skills and I am eager to apply learned skills in practical settings and develop new knowledge and seek to gain deeper understanding of industry and seize opportunities as they come.

I am experienced in engaging with diverse audiences, handling sensitive situations with empathy and professionalism, and delivering high-quality service in fast-paced environments. I am a strong problem-solver, adapt quick, and take a proactive approach to learning and process improvement. I'm known for my reliability, sound judgement, and a positive, collaborative working style, with a keen interest in HR operations, data accuracy, and organisational support within people-focused teams.
