Summary

My name is Sarah and I was born Brazil, and I have lived in three different countries which makes me someone who is very adaptable and resilient.
Fluent speak three languages fluently, English, Portuguese and Spanish, I am a very communicative person and I enjoy working in a team, always willing to improve my skills and learn new things.
Working on retail helped me to increase my communication skills, as well as fast problem solving skills as I had to deal with several different situations on the daily basis.
I am currently a medical science student at Bournemouth University and through my years of study I developed a passion for lab work and in the future I would love to work in the medical research field.
