Summary
Confident, motivated and positive.
I'm a hard working and bubbly professional from the UK, looking to broaden my horizons. I have a positive ‘can-do’ attitude and love to challenge myself to learn something new from every personal and professional experience. I have experience leading a team but I'm also a team player. I have worked in various busy environments and thrive under pressure, aiming to exceed expectations of what can be achieved whilst keeping a smile on my face and others around me. I have been working in a busy events bar as a bartender and I have also been working in a warehouse – so I do not shy away from hard work! I have a passion to learn new things and I'm excited to be in a new environment where I can expand and develop my skills to excel in a new career. I'm available to work immediately.
