PROFILE:
I am interested in Film, Fashion, Music, Photography, Reading, and Writing.
I was given the responsibility of Department Specialist for Non Clothing whilst at Topshop. Since having this challenging role I have gained more of an interest in fashion.
After working and travelling around America, Mexico and Canada I have gained more confidence. Having to work with a variety of people from completely different backgrounds has helped me understand the importance of team work and improved my communication skills.
