About me

I am an English and Philosophy graduate who is a hard-working and reliable individual. Having recently returned from travelling Asia, I am now looking to further my career in marketing. Prior to travelling, I worked as a Marketing Assistant for an IT Recruitment company, who then kept me employed on a freelance basis while I have been away. Before my final year at University I gained experience in marketing with a local charity, primarily digital marketing. During my final year at University I worked part time for Red Bull in a field marketing role. In addition, I have gained experience in a variety of customer facing roles, working during my school and university education as a waitress.
