Summary

I am a tenacious, reliable and passionate Fashion Design BA student, with an innovative mindset and an eye for detail. I problem solve through art and design, and pride myself on being ambitious and charismatic in all aspects of life. I am open minded and I value sincerity, clear communication and efficiency. I've learned to adapt after moving to England from Washington D.C. in my early teens, and I would consider myself worldly, mature and level-headed. I work well under pressure, in teams, while also being independent. I am eager to learn and develop my skills, and I am very ready to take on employment to help better society.

Work history

Babysitter

Families in my town
Petersfield, Hampshire
09.2019 - 11.2023

I looked after children between the ages of 3 and 8 in my village. The responsibility of caring for other people's children taught me independence, adaptability and to be reliable. Safety, hygiene, communication and efficiency were also attributes I gained from babysitting.

Costume assistant

Olivier Theatre
Petersfield, Hampshire
01.2020 - 02.2023

I assisted in the upkeep of historical garments used for plays, and I helped backstage in makeup, hair, and costume styling. I worked on a number of different theatre events that were attended by much of the public in the area.

This experience gave me communication and organisation skills, by working to deadlines in a team. I also adapted to different creative demands to help achieve artistic vision, while furthering my knowledge and skills in clothing, make up and hair.
