Hi, I’m

Chrissy Felton

Ansty, Haywards Heath,West Sussex

Summary

I am a confident and sociable individual who thrives both
within a team, and when independently tackling projects. My strength in communication skills and my positive outlook make me easy to approach and always willing to bring confidence out in
others. I am a proactive and enthusiastic person and
believe constructive criticism is a fundamental element for self-improvement.


Throughout my diverse career to date in Hospitality,
Retail, Teaching, Customer Service, Care and Nannying I have learnt a vast range of transferable skills to work with the people from all backgrounds and the confidence to navigate difficult situations.


During periods between employment, I have seized the opportunity and been lucky enough to travel across South East Asia and India. These trips exposed me to both challenging situations and the most amazing experiences of my life so far. As well as a year in Vietnam teaching, my time away has helped me immerse myself in cultures, and further develop my respect for other communities.


I believe my positive attitude, along with my experience and drive to succeed, makes me an ideal candidate for your current position.
