I am currently studying my final year of a Fashion Design with Communication degree at Birmingham City University.
I am a highly motivated individual and I give 100% in any tasks set before me, whether I am working independently or as a team member. I am committed to perform in any role I undertake, such as working to tight deadlines as I relish the chance to take on new challenges and opportunities. I am willing to learn new skills, undertake training and develop my current abilities. I am a trustworthy, reliable and conscientious person who is focused and finds great satisfaction in achieving an end result.
I wish within the next few years to gain experience in the design/visual industry, which will contribute towards my goal of eventually working as a fashion designer.
