Summary

Disciplined recent school leaver with an ambition to gain work experience and learn new skills. Ready and excited to find paid employment during college holidays and weekends.
Currently awaiting GCSEs results with excellent predicted grades and expecting to start college in September 2025.

I have had unique exposure to a catering and retail environment via my Grandparents' Tea-Room and Gallery. This helped me to observe and understand the value of excellent customer service.

Since then I enjoyed my position at Solange Bakery which helped to develop my retail and face-to-face customer skills. I left this job to focus on GCSE revision and exams.
