In this role, I have consistently managed shelf replenishment and cash sales while prioritising exceptional customer service. Maintaining this position throughout my A-levels and university journey underscores my adept time management and work ethic in fast-paced environments.

My experience at Sainsbury's has allowed me to cultivate effective communication skills by engaging with a diverse range of customers, colleagues, and managers. These skills have transcended my work environment, enabling me to confidently participate in constructive debates with peers and engage in substantive discussions with university lecturers.

By combining my practical responsibilities with academic pursuits, I have nurtured skills that are both immediately applicable and transferable to broader contexts.

Engaged in a transformative entrepreneurial project during my time in Japan, I collaborated within a diverse, multi-lingual team to address real-world challenges faced by Japanese individuals. This immersive experience required us to identify practical solutions that aligned with the offerings of select companies.

In response, our team conceived a visionary idea that merged technology and nature, aiming to alleviate the urban stresses experienced by professionals. Our idea focused on the creation of innovative co-working spaces designed to replicate the tranquility of natural environments. By integrating cutting-edge technology to block out city noises (as provided by TOA a sound development company involved in the project ) and evoke the ambiance of nature, we aimed to create an environment that enhanced focus, well-being, and productivity.

The culmination of our efforts were put forward in a pitch presentation before an audience exceeding 200 attendees, including representatives from AstraZeneca and local governance . This platform allowed us to showcase our pioneering concept, effectively conveying how our solution could elevate the modern workplace experience. The resounding recognition of our idea was evident as we were voted as the best idea of the event .

This project was not only a testament to my ability to collaborate across linguistic and cultural boundaries but also a demonstration of my creative problem-solving skills and strategic thinking. The experience solidified my dedication to innovation and my capacity to conceptualise ideas that address real-world challenges while generating positive impacts.

In support of a workplace management and hot desking software business start-up, I played a pivotal role in the offering direction to its decisions. My responsibilities encompassed a multifaceted approach, involving meticulous market, financial, and economic research. Using tools such as the Bloomberg Terminal, I skilfully extracted essential data from competitors, which, when combined with the analytical capabilities of Stata, enabled me to engineer predictive models showcasing future market growth dynamics.

My contributions extended beyond data manipulation; I translated my findings into meaningful insights delivered via online presentations to the three business founders. These interactive sessions not only presented raw information but were also fortified with economic rational guiding the strategic decision-making.

This experience not only underscored my proficiency in data manipulation and presentation but also showcased my ability to effectively communicate intricate economic reasoning to an audience. The combination of rigorous analysis and compelling presentation cemented my passion for contributing to dynamic and forward-thinking business environments.
