Summary
I am a driven, self motivated individual having recently completed a Fine Art Honours degree at York St. John's University. I am friendly with good communication and interpersonal skills, gained from my background in the performing arts, which I use to good effect for building relationships whilst remaining positive and professional. I have performed and assisted backstage at the Floral Pavilion Theatre on several occasions so am familiar with the venue. Through my A-Level Drama course, I have experience in stage managing small productions, including set design, lighting and sound. I thoroughly enjoyed these aspects and would relish the opportunity to develop these skills further. I have had previous employment in childcare, demonstrating that I am both responsible, patient and dependable. With A-Level mathematics, I have an excellent grasp of numeracy in addition to my artistic flair, which is a useful combination in any setting. All of my experiences to date have allowed me to be highly adaptable so that I can learn new skills quickly and be confident in my abilities.
