I am an adaptable self-starting graduate with an educational background in both computing and history that wishes to pursue a career in marketing.
During various work experiences, in an array of sectors with differing responsibilities, I have proven my desire to learn, initiative, timeliness, reliability, integrity, attention to detail and ability to communicate, both verbally and textually. I have an intense desire to learn new skills and have been pursuing photography and social media communications recently. Some of my work can be viewed on my Instagram page below.
Whilst naturally a team player, I am also comfortable and effective working independently.
