Summary

As a Newcastle University law student, I am a dedicated and hardworking individual (and previously elected head girl of my sixth form), who thrives in a people orientated environment. I am polite, hard-working and ambitious, enthusiastic and quick to learn new skills.


Working in the hospitality sector alongside my studies has ensured that I am organised, detail-orientated and an independent worker with strong time-management and customer service skills. I would therefore appreciate the opportunity to continue to develop my work experience and build the vital skills that employment can offer. I am confident that my commitment, excellent teamwork and leadership skills will be an asset in any working environment.
