About me

At present, I am a student at London College of Fashion studying BA Fashion Design and Development. My experience in fashion extends to my education at UAL and Kingston University, as well as, work experience at a traditional menswear store and an internship at Brian De Carvalho. Professionally, I have a large array of part-time and full-time positions stretching over the last 5 years. This includes hospitality and retail work, which have developed many of my soft skills, making me an adaptable, efficient and collaborative candidate.

Since the age of 14, I have balanced education and work, and this experience early on quickly developed many of my soft skills. Having worked full-time, part-time and one-offs to help out I am used to adapting to wherever I fit in a team. From my interpersonal skills and team understanding, I find it easy to slot in wherever I am most helpful. This is particularly clear from a restaurant assistant manager role I had, where prioritisation of tasks changed very quickly and I switched from delegating tasks to potwashing with ease. I have worked in bigger teams, smaller teams and multiple industry types and from this I've honed my intuition and become an adaptable and fast learner. Equally, I am unafraid to ask questions as I have been both the trainee and the trainer and have used every opportunity to learn what I can from each role.Since the age of 14, I have balanced education and work, and this experience early on quickly developed many of my soft skills.
