Alongside my education, I have worked in skilled retail positions over the last four years in which I have grown both professionally and personally. Not only have I developed the basic skills of communication, relationship building and confidently working in a team, but positions at Lush and The Body Shop, as companies who strive to be ethical, have allowed me to understand how businesses work within a local community. Organising litter picks, working community events, including with the local hospice, and working cover for other stores have cemented me as a versatile and proficient member of any work team.
