Personal Summary
I am a hard-working and reliable student, currently working towards my GCSEs, which I will take at the end of next year. I am particularly interested in languages and the humanities. I am currently looking to gain some office experience to help me understand what I would like to do in my career.
Skills
- Communication - I have often been asked to tour prospective parents around my school and am used to give class presentations. I am unafraid of speaking to new people or large groups of people.

- Language Skills - I am highly proficient in French, I took my GCSE two years early, and I have a conversational level of Spanish.

- ICT Skills - I have a good understanding of all Microsoft Office packages and I can confidently use all major social media platforms.
