Wednesbury,West Midlands

Summary

I am a motivated and ambitious undergraduate with a diverse background combining higher education, professional employment and industry-recognised qualifications. Alongside studying Building Surveying at Coventry University, I have built several years of experience working within one of the UK's busiest airport environments, developing strong communication, customer service, security, operational and problem-solving skills.

Holding Merit qualifications in both Construction Management and the Built Environment, together with a Level 2 SIA Door Supervisor Licence, I have demonstrated the ability to balance higher education with long-term employment while maintaining high professional standards. My experience has strengthened my adaptability, professionalism and ability to perform effectively under pressure.

I enjoy learning, taking on new challenges and working with people from diverse backgrounds. Whether working independently or as part of a team, I am committed to delivering a high standard of work and contributing positively to an organisation. I am seeking long-term opportunities where I can continue developing my skills and build a successful professional career.
