Summary
I am an enthusiastic, friendly and responsible person with great communication skills and customer services experience (catering/retail). I have experience of living and working in a multilingual (English/Italian/Spanish) environment, which has given me an appreciation of different cultures and an ability to interact with a diverse range of people. Having worked both as a teaching assistant and as a private tutor in recent years, as well as being awarded a First Class Honours degree in my field of study, I am now looking forward to building on my skills - to learn, develop and take on new challenges.
