Summary

I am a hard-working and enthusiastic Criminology and Criminal justice with law graduate who attended the University of Plymouth and is currently attending University of Wales Trinity Saint David, studying a postgraduate master’s in criminal justice and Policing. I was a Trade team leader at The Food Warehouse where I ran the online picking department. During my time at Food Warehouse, I have learnt valuable and transferable skills which I believe would help me excel at your company. I pride myself in being an open. approachable and compassionate person with excellent communication skills. I relish working in challenging but morally rewarding areas. I work very well in a team and can build a rapport with people quickly. My time at university has embedded in me fantastic time keeping skills, prioritization skills and ingrained in me a confidence in public speaking. Furthermore, as the team leader in charge of the online department I have developed fantastic personal and digital communication skills, with both customers, other store departments and third-party contractors. I have had always taken an interest in electronics and technology, being sure to stay up to date with all new developments.
