Additional information:
I have an infectious enthusiasm for every project I undertake, from my experiences in repertory houses I am good at making strong working relationships quickly and easily. I enjoy being challenged, and enjoy using my initiative to work independently, but work well within a team, using team dynamics to further ideas and projects. I have a full clean driving license.
