Summary

I am an adventurous, energetic, positive individual who has developed a professional and honest approach to my working career.


As a graduate with 5+ years of management experience in the UK and the UAE, I have acquired superb communication, relationship building and leadership skills as well being a natural team player. I have the ability to work both independently and collaboratively with others to achieve objectives on time, using both a structured or flexible approach as required.


Prior to achieving my degree in Business and Media, I also accomplished the Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Award showing my commitment to community and going above and beyond in my professional career to gain new skills.
