Summary
Creative and experienced professional with a passion for business, marketing and the arts. After years of experience building my skills through part time jobs in a range of professions such as retail, childcare and hospitality. I have also built upon my goals through my education, starting with an extended diploma in art and design which led me to enroll in Loughborough university, for graphic design, with the intention of continuing onto a masters for marketing with the goal of becoming a creative director. However, after a year I felt that my passion was for business and marketing as I spent most my time reading and studying text books and online reports in the library. With this new found drive, I have recently moved to Manchester and I am looking for a related job that I can bring my dedication and creative skills to gain build upon and gain experience in these fields with likeminded individuals.
