Personal Statement:

A soon to be graphic design graduate from Leeds Arts University, with a passionate and positive attitude. I love working in a team, creating and developing ideas which have led to successful collaborative projects. I am equally confident working on my own, eager to learn new skills and I respond well to feedback to ensure the highest quality outcome.

Work Experience:

Cineworld, Starbucks Barista
(August 2016 - Present)
As a barista customer interaction is integral, working with a smile and a positive attitude ensures a high quality experience. Working within a small team it is essential that there is clear communication and support for each other.

Dolcino, Food & Beverage Assistant
Ice cream parlour and cafe, serving waffles and crepes.
(June 2015 - August 2016)
This job involved a lot of customer interaction, quality was essential for perfect presentation of the food and desserts. In a busy environment it was important to stay calm and ensure there was clear communication with co-workers. 

McDonald's Crew Member
(September 2012 - June 2015)
Working at McDonalds has taught me some valuable skills, not only increasing my confidence but being able to remain calm whilst working in a busy environment. I have learnt excellent communication skills and work well within a team to ensure customer needs were met.

Education:
