Summary

As a recruitment consultant I received outstanding feedback from the director of the company, he described me as: 'dedicated, committed and always prepared to face a new challenge'. Through my performance management feedback I was described as an: 'enthusiastic, hardworking individual and an excellent communicator'. Ballet is also a great passion of mine; I gained a full scholarship at the prestigious Doreen Bird College of Dance and Theatre Performance where I graduated with a first class bachelor of arts degree in dance and musical theatre performance. The mental, emotional and physical discipline has equipped me for future challenges. Due to my experience, attributes and transferable skills I believe I would be a great asset to any forward thinking and ambitious organisation.
