About me

Since completing my degree in Drama and Physical Theatre, I have had extensive experience in customer service and administration. I am currently working in a fast paced administration role at a teaching recruitment agency. As part of this role I have a duty to maintain relationships with the companies 75 branches, who contact our department on a daily basis. I am also responsible for compiling and managing information within the companies database and dealing with complex and confidential paperwork. Prior to this I spent three years working for a television production company, where I managed a team of freelance staff in order to ensure the smooth running of the media production office. Throughout my professional career I have also developed a passion for social media. The development of my social media platforms has taught me the importance of creating new and engaging content via a variety of mediums i.e. video, written word and photography. Alongside creating suitable content for the target market, I have used focussed campaigns and my knowledge of analytics in order to build audience engagement. This has given me the opportunity to work as a Brand Ambassador for a global beauty company. I am now seeking the opportunity to work in an environment where I can combine my administration skills with the knowledge that I have gained from my experience with social media.
