Summary
A highly motivated and hardworking individual, currently studying English, Theatre and Performance at the University of Leeds. My degree has enhanced my communication, organisation and critical thinking skills. My experiences performing on stage have taught me to be confident and adaptable in diverse situations. As a result, I communicate effectively with others and enjoy working as part of a team. Previously employed at a busy fast-food restaurant, I learned to stay calm under pressure and complete tasks quickly and accurately. I consistently sought feedback to improve my performance and take pride in approaching every challenge with a proactive and positive attitude.
