Friendly and outgoing with knack for creating memorable customer experiences and ensuring smooth service. Skilled in communication and teamwork, able to adapt quickly to new environments.I have recently completed my GCSEs at Portadown College and have decided to pursue a course at the SRC Portadown Campus studying Uniformed Protective Services Level 3 Diploma.
