What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to utilize my communication skills and creativity while contributing to a supportive and dynamic team environment.

As a dedicated English Literature student at the University of Warwick, I have developed a profound appreciation for literature and its impact on society. My academic journey has been complemented by various leadership roles, including serving as the President of the Her Campus Society, where I honed my organisational and communication skills while advocating for feminist issues.

My work experience as a Customer and Sales Assistant at Sainsbury's has equipped me with exceptional customer service and problem-solving abilities in a fast-paced environment. Additionally, my role as a Brand Ambassador for UniHomes has allowed me to explore social media management and content creation, further enhancing my creative skills. I am passionate about supporting others, as demonstrated during my time as a Teacher's Assistant, where I worked with children with additional needs.
