Additional Information

During a shadowing experience at Transport for London’s Marketing and Communications department, I gained valuable insight into the workings of a professional environment. I participated in two meetings related to the Car Free Day initiative and shadowed the department head at the Southwark office. This experience helped me improve my communication skills and learn how to conduct myself in a workplace setting. Additionally, I volunteered at the Harris Federation Conference, greeting, welcoming, and directing guests, where I developed strong organisational and task management skills.
