Motivated and reliable student who has recently completed GCSEs while balancing academic studies with extracurricular commitments. Through self-employed handyman work, I have developed strong customer service, communication and problem-solving skills by working with a wide range of clients and completing jobs to a high standard. My involvement in student government and school sports has strengthened my teamwork, leadership and ability to work effectively under pressure. I am enthusiastic, quick to learn and eager to contribute positively to a hospitality or retail team by providing excellent service and maintaining a professional attitude.
