Summary

I am from Iran, a country with a long history of valuing art and takig pride in its beautiful buildings and structures. Due to my asylum status, It is not easy to provide work reference but I can provide character reference form people I have become known to since living in the United Kingdom.

I am really motivated to get back to my life's trade and it is part of my culture and upbringing to have a strong work ethic. I would dearly love to practice my trade and to rebuild my life.
