Creative person able to work independently and as a team. I have always been an independent person. University taught me to push myself, to become more confident and to seek new ways for myself to improve my skills as well as strive to keep learning new skills. I pride myself on being highly organised.
I would love to work in a creative environment. My passion in life has always been art. I visit exhibitions, galleries and museums in my spare time. I create my own artworks in a variety of forms. In addition to this, I enjoy practicing yoga, travelling, reading and I am Sir David Attenborough’s biggest fan – which provides my art with inspiration!

I am responsible for all of the ordering for the store, with this I developed relationships with several brands, communicating via email and over the phone. I stay highly organised to keep on top of orders. I have trained several new members. I complete numerous key general admin tasks such as payments and rota planning. I research and source new potential brands and products that suit the stores concept. Ensure visual merchandising is up to company standard and implement changes to impact sales.

Education
• Bachelor of Arts Second Class Honours (First Division) University of Portsmouth
- Portsmouth, United Kingdom
At the University of Portsmouth I studied Illustration. I am proud to have graduated with a high 2.1.
During my time there I learnt new skills, as well as take skills I already have to the next level. I was able to teach g.c.s.e classes and mentor second year students, doing this helped boost confidence and improve my organisation.
I was able to exhibit my work in several locations, in front of hundreds of people.
I was also able to work on commissions that I had obtained whilst being at University.
