Summary

Motivated professional, qualified in photography BA (hons) and electrical installation (16th edition) with a wide-ranging valuable skillset. Having raised 3 children with physical and mental disabilities for 14 years as a single parent, it has taught me to be able to think outside the box and change direction to suit the situation. I retrained in photography, art, and design gaining my degree in 2023. I have accumulated a range of transferable skills and knowledge including, problem solving, prioritising, managing a budget, time management and influencing an outcome. Communication is key and I am able to do that verbally and in writing with all social backgrounds to achieve a common goal. I also have 3 year's experience of curating my own gallery shows which have further enhanced my ability to add value within the sector. I am also currently learning British Sign language to further my abilities to communicate with others.
