Summary

Curious, intrigued and determined, these are the words I would use to describe my attitude towards learning and anything that I put my mind to. After my three years at University I have learnt new skills and qualities that have helped me succeed and thrive in any situation. From deadlines developing my discipline and dedication, to social events and meeting new people which has developed my social skills and helped me make important links and contacts with opportunities that will grant future prospects. My experience in retail and hospitality have also helped me understand how a business runs efficiently and granted me the work ethic to get the job done. Also I have recently joined the astronomy and physics society which has held events such as stargazing and social quizzes, this is because in my spare time I love to study astronomy and cosmology as I have always had a deep interest in space and engineering. Accomplished Masters student, pursuing Electronic and Electrical Engineering eager to apply knowledge and gain practical experience with the hope of obtaining my CEng title. Experienced working in team environments. Reputation for hard work, punctuality and willingness to learn new things.
