Summary

I recently graduated with a BSc in Geography from the University of Liverpool. Studying Geography at an undergraduate level has afforded me a multifaceted understanding of practical, social, economic, and environmental issues. It has also provided me with the platform to address critical challenges confronting contemporary society. Whilst I am aiming to pursue a career in climate research, I am currently seeking to gain experience in a dynamic environment that combines analytical thinking with strategic problem solving such as the finance sector. Motivated Sales Assistant committed to providing excellent customer service. Organized, detail-oriented and empathetic to customer needs. Skilled at helping customers find the products and services that they need.
