Summary

Dynamic professional with a diverse skill set including: customer service, technical support, retail sales and manual handling.

I am an outgoing individual, currently studying Music & Sound Production at Bournemouth University part time as a mature student, running an eBay store selling hobby equipment on the side.

Being self employed has taught me great customer service skills, and time management for dispatch and order fulfillment, however I am now looking to expand my skill-set and work within a company.
