I started writing for Darkus Magazine at just Sixteen. I started off as a staff writer and then after only a few months working there, I became a part of the social media team and soon became editorial assistant where I would reply to emails from PR, who have commented on my friendly attitude. I worked alongside the editor to ensure deadlines were met and also was able to gain confidence in public speaking and with greeting important customers of the brand. I also worked with graphic artists, post-production team members and other specialists to produce captivating and successful content. I interviewed bands such as the Stereophonics and wrote live reviews of performances.

Throughout the summer of 2022, I have worked part-time as a cattery assistant. This opportunity has allowed me to gain a lot of rewarding traits. I was responsible for customer's cats, their well-being, security of the space, as well as being responsible for feeding the animals, meeting and greeting customers, as well as corresponding with co-workers to ensure a happy and healthy environment. I exceeded goals through effective task prioritization and great work ethic. I also worked to maintain outstanding attendance record, consistently arriving to work ready to start immediately.

At my time at NEXT as a sales assistant, I learnt a lot of skills that have prepared me for a busy and fast-paced environment. I worked in all aspects of the store. Helping with getting deliveries out to customers in a timely manner, as well as keeping the shop floor tidy. I helped throughout the sales during night shifts to help prepare for the busy sales period and added lines to the store. I helped customers regularly with sizing and item enquiries, going to stockroom to make sure got the best customer service possible. I worked the till managing returns and sales. As well as dealing with any customer complaints confidently and positively. I also worked a good team-member and was communicative and punctual.
