Summary
I am currently a Business & Management student at Edge Hill University in my third year of study. I have diverse work experience which I take pride in. I am aspiring to shift my occupational focus into sales as I have a passion and huge interest for this sector and understand the high ceiling a job in this industry provides. My experiences have equipped me with excellent communication skills, adaptability and the ability to learn in multiple ways. I am looking for a role in sales to learn the skill whilst contributing to the performance and output of the business providing the opportunity to learn and be surrounded by like-minded individuals. Outside of work and education, I enjoy focusing on my fitness through attending classes, running and consistently visiting the local gym.

I commit a large percentage of my time into areas of my life that require consistency and productivity as a priority for success. This includes my health and wellbeing, Education and my current employment., I consistently keep on top of my fitness and health as a hobby outside of working and education. This has a direct effect on my projects and education as the constant focus on consistency is transferred over to my work almost as second nature.
