Lancaster

Summary

Responsible and dedicated, a recent graduate 22 years of age. Having just got back from a year abroad, working and living in New Zealand, I have now moved to Lancaster to live close by family. Therefore seeking an opportunity to contribute and to develop skills further. Friendly and positive in nature, I believe that I would integrate well into your work environment. I consider myself creative with some passions and hobbies include painting, baking and going on long walks.
