Personal Summary

After my A-Levels I decided to take a gap year and secured part-time work (3 mornings a week) with a local independent bakery it was not long before my work ethic was recognised and they offered me additional shifts which I accepted.

I am now attending Canterbury Christ Church University, studying Psychology with a Foundation Year and so am looking for a job to help to support myself. I have lectures Monday 10am to 2pm and an online lecture on Friday for 1 hour. I would always welcome any shifts including nights.

As my other interests include Ballet and Tap, I am also volunteering at my dance school as a chaperone and teaching assistant as they are preparing for their bi-annual variety performance show. In addition to this, I am also volunteering at Chance To Dance, a company which organises shows for a wide range of dance schools in various locations.

Feedback from my teachers, employers and previous work experience have described me as a motivated and enthusiastic student with the ability to work as an individual and/or as part of a team, using good communication skills, both written and spoken to ensure a clear understanding of the task requirements and the desired outcome.
