Niamh Howson

I have good time management and organisation, managing to balance school work, homework with basketball club, drum lessons and social life. Three of my GCSEs required coursework and I met all assessment deadlines.

I am skilled at prioritising tasks and managing work loads.

I have strong communication skills; both written and verbal. I have collaborated successfully with classmates and helped younger students improve their reading skills.

I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a basketball team, which helped build my resilience and become a strong team player.

I'm good at problem solving, as demonstrated in my Design and Technology coursework, where I was given a brief by a client to redesign a work space.

One of my strengths is creativity. I've demonstrated this throughout my education by designing and painting stage sets, helping with makeup in school productions, painting large murals and creating a successful GCSE Art and Design sketchbook.
