Summary

I'm a friendly and thoughtful individual with a strong work ethic and a genuine interest in helping others. Currently in my first year of a BSc Nursing (Adult) degree at Coventry University, I’m looking for part-time opportunities in retail, customer service, or hospitality that allow me to build on my experience while studying. I work well under pressure, stay calm in fast-paced environments, and enjoy roles where I can support others and make a difference. With a background in sales, food service, and event support, I bring a positive attitude, patience, and a team-focused approach to everything I do.

About me

As a person, I’m thoughtful, observant, and quietly driven. I value kindness, creativity, and authenticity, and I take pride in putting genuine care into everything I do—whether I’m supporting others, learning something new, or working as part of a team. I’m motivated by meaning and connection, and I’m always open to growing through new experiences, especially when they align with my values and allow me to make a difference, even in small ways.

Affiliations

  • Outside of work and study, I enjoy staying active through regular exercise and exploring creativity through cooking, baking, and hands-on projects like sewing, knitting, and upcycling clothes. I’m passionate about self-expression and enjoy designing and creating clothing, often turning my pieces into small business projects. I’m also a culture enthusiast, deeply interested in learning about different traditions, ways of life, and global perspectives. In quieter moments, I love reading, listening to music, and engaging in arts and crafts, all of which allow me to recharge and stay inspired. I also have a deep love for animals and enjoy spending time with them, caring for pets, and learning about animal welfare.
