Summary

I am motivated and adaptable with a passion for music, reading, and film. I enjoy creating music, playing the guitar, and working collaboratively with others. Having completed A Levels in English Literature, Film Studies, and Criminology, I am eager to embrace new opportunities that challenge me and allow me to grow both personally and professionally. I hold a recent DBS check, gained through my experience as a camp counselor at Camp Europe in Germany, and I am also certified in CPR and lifeguarding. These qualifications reflect a commitment to safety, responsibility, and working effectively in dynamic environments.

Offering strong organisational skills and a keen eye for detail, combined with a proactive attitude towards problem-solving. Knowledgeable about inventory management, shipping processes, and customer service. Ready to use and develop communication, time management, and teamwork skills in any future role.
