Summary

I am a highly motivated professional with a proven track record in marketing, performance, self-study, and tutoring. My communication skills have been professionally honed over 10 years of working with Wakefield Youth Theatre (formerly affiliated with Yew Tree Youth Theatre), as well as taking part in 4 musicals with Outwood Grange Academy. Alongside this, I am able to communicate effectively across language barriers, as I have self-taught French speaking and comprehension to a conversational level (B1). I am an extremely quick learner, who thrives in pressurised situations, evidenced by my excellent GCSE grades and predicted A Level grades. I enjoy adapting to and stepping into new environments, displayed when joining Northern Lights Dance Academy at 14 years old, committing to weekly classes and very quickly integrating into the group.
