About

In 2014 I graduated with a 2.1 in French & Spanish from the University of Southampton. I spent the third year of my course living in Spain where I did the British Council Assistantship. I am currently working in purchasing and I am enjoying the challenge. I am self-motivated and always eager to learn something new. I enjoy working both independently and within a team.
