Summary

I have 3 years experience of working in a high pressure, customer relation based job, as a Dispensary and Sales Assistant, whilst simultaneously studying for my GCSE and A Level qualifications. I am a resourceful worker, with the ability to efficiently and effectively learn new skills, as well as maintaining my high attention to detail and strong desire to constantly improve and challenge myself. This mentality has contributed to various successes I have found in both education and work.
