St Albans,Hertfordshire

Summary

I am an enthusiastic student seeking seasonal work during University holidays. I am motivated to work, and learn new skills through hands on experience, and utilise knowledge and skills from my past customer focused retail work.


I am a sociable, hardworking team player with a positive attitude, and willing to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals.


I enjoy challenging myself with extra curricular activities in addition to my studies, and have completed Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award; Grade 3 violin and Grade 2 viola (ABRSM), in addition to teaching myself to play guitar for fun.
