About

Experience working at The Long Bar & Grill and Sand Martins Golf Club alongside playing hockey for Sonning Hockey Club have taught me the value of time management and reliability within a team environment. Prior roles at Accessorize, The Olde Bell and JARM Products have provided me with a strong grounding in communication skills. In particular, working for JARM Products, gaining experience in negotiating through language barriers with foreign wholesalers. Through my position as a waitress in a hotel restaurant that serves international business clients, I have developed customer serviced service and upselling skills. Participation in the Young Leaders Volunteer Programme and dog walking highlights my commitment to helping others and being a valuable member of society. In 2023, I completed the ‘8 billion Ideas’ online internship in marketing and advertising which further developed my problem-solving skills and strong work-ethic. These experiences have allowed me grow into an excellent relationship builder who is approachable, self-motivated and eager to learn.
