Summary

I am a friendly and reliable 18-year-old college leaver student who has recently completed A Levels in Sociology, Photography, and Criminology at BHASVIC. Through my studies, I have developed strong analytical, communication, and problem solving skills, and have always had an enthusiastic approach to learning, whether that is analysing complex social issues or developing creative concepts. I enjoy working with others, adapting to challenges, and finding practical solutions in both academic and real-world situations. I have experience working with members of the public through volunteering at school and college open evenings, as well as completing work experience with a small retail business. In addition, I have developed strong teamwork and leadership skills through competitive swimming, serving as a Photography Prefect, and long-term involvement in Rainbows, Brownies, and Guides. I am able to start work immediately and eager to bring a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and excellent costumer service skills to a costumer-facing role.
