What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my skills in a supportive environment while contributing to a team focused on making a positive impact.

My name is Matilda Cox, and I am currently taking a break from my medical degree to gain valuable work experience and broaden my skill set. I possess excellent organizational abilities and strong communication skills, which have been honed through various roles in hospitality, retail, administration, healthcare, and childcare. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality work and thrive in both independent and team environments.

Throughout my journey, I have demonstrated a commitment to exceptional customer service and maintaining a positive work atmosphere. My experiences range from being a steward at large-scale events to working as a nursery practitioner, where I implemented educational activities and engaged with parents. I have also gained valuable insights into pharmacology as a pharmacy administrator, where I managed data and interacted with patients regarding their medications.

In addition to my professional experiences, I am passionate about sports and have taken on leadership roles, such as captain of the LUU Netball 3 Team. My adventurous spirit has led me to travel internationally, enhancing my adaptability and cultural understanding. I am eager to continue my journey, contributing positively to any team I join.
