While completing my university degree, I have worked part-time at Marks & Spencers, where I developed strong time management skills by balancing academic responsibilities with a fast-paced retail role. In this position, I’ve taken on a range of responsibilities, including training new team members, working across multiple departments, and managing customer parcel collections. This experience has sharpened my ability to work under pressure and significantly strengthened my communication and teamwork skills.
