Summary
I'm an enthusiastic student with a passion for creating engaging social media content; who is eager to take on new challenges and increased accountability to contribute to company success. Having worked as a social media manager before I also bring an understanding of how marketing works within a business. Having played sport all my life, specifically football and golf, I have a natural competitive side as well always wanting to do the best that I can. I think my experiences in sport and previous work have also given me two key skills; teamwork and leadership, both of which I feel will help me contribute towards company success.
