Summary

My name is Sarah. I'm a mature professional who is currently employed locally for a private historic home.

Having moved to North Essex with my family from Derbyshire over 8 years I have immersed myself in the local community , culture, history and landscape of this very unspoilt part of the county.

I am a keen active walker with our Border Terrier and enjoy many outdoor pursuits including Point to Point Racing. I am a keen amateur gardener and an enthusiastic sailing member at Orford Sailing club . I am passionate about local history and Art and have been a regular gallery volunteer at the Gainsborough Museum since 2019.

With over five years of experience in the customer service industry as a dedicated administrative professional I believe I have the relevant skills and experience to bring to this position.

I am a hardworking , committed team player with a meticulous eye for detail and a willingness to take on new challenges and responsibilities.
