Summary
I'm about to start a BA (Hons) Professional Music degree at Waterbear College of Music, Falmouth University, having recently completed my A Levels at Lancing College. I enjoy working with people and have developed my customer service skills through my hospitality work, supporting private chef events, supper clubs and pop-up dining experiences. Alongside this, my volunteering has helped me become organised, dependable and comfortable working with others. I enjoy being part of a team, taking responsibility and getting involved wherever I am needed. I'm looking for a part-time role where I can continue to learn new skills and gain experience while studying.
