Summary

I am a motivated and enthusiastic individual with a thirst for new experiences, and I am not afraid to take risks. I have recently returned from a foreign employment programme in New Zealand, and I am looking to use the lessons I learned from my travels to kickstart my career back home in the UK. I have experience with Cash Handling, and I have a full driving licence.
