Summary

I am a motivated, focused and passionate individual who enjoys a challenge. With over seven years of experience working in the retail sector, and almost two years working in the motor trade industry, I have greatly developed my capacity for working diligently both independently as well as in a team-based environment.

In addition to my professional experiences, outside of the work environment I am a passionate musician with a heavy focus on songwriting, performing and music production. I am part of a five-piece rock band/project, Club Hazy, formed 5 years ago by my friend and I whilst at university. In 2025, we have taken what started out as a production project to the stage: performing original songs written, recorded and produced by myself, with a few of the songs having been aired on BBC Radio East Midlands.

During my employment at Mercedes-Benz as a Sales Executive, one of my key responsibilities has been delivering a premium customer experience whilst selling both new and approved-used vehicles.
