About

I am currently studying for a Bachelor's degree in Hospitality business management. I decided upon attending university at the age of 22 and feel this has enabled me to gained the best possible experience as I have already developed many key skills that are valuable during the time you attend university through the previous jobs I have held. I have worked in a few different positions starting out as a sandwich artist for Subway, a job I maintain while completing my A levels where I studied Business, Finance and Photography. Following this I have worked for Laser Zone LTD first as a crew member for a year then being promoted to supervisor, a role I held for over 2 years. During this time I greatly developed on key skills including communication, organisation, team working and management. After departing Laser Zone I went to work as a finance apprentice for Morrisons PLC, this decision was driven from my desire for a career job and my high grades in both Business and Finance achieved in my A levels. This job allowed me to gain skills in accounting and money management. However I decided this was not the long term career path for me as I have a real passion for working with people. Following this passion I decided to study international hospitality business management in order to further educate myself and develop a career working in a people centric job such as hospitality or Human Resources. Outside of work and education I have a passion for pool, regularly attending tournaments and weekly training as well as enjoying going out to entertainment establishments with those close to me.
