Summary
I am a motivated and hardworking person, able to work as part of a team or independently. I am looking for opportunities to enhance my existing skills and develop new ones. My experience has mostly been based around a production line setting which has allowed me to become adaptable and flexible on completing various tasks within a fast-paced setting. I have undertaken voluntary work which has given me experience in organising, coordinating and collaborating with others, essential skills that I can bring to your workplace. I am a student at Cardiff University, currently on course to achieve a 2:1.
