resume (jan 2017)

Last updated: 23rd January 2017

Name – Helen Elizabeth Clark

Date of Birth - 23/10/87

Nationality - British

Personal Profile

I have a BSc Hons degree in Forensic Science which has given me a vast skills base to draw from and I feel that I am a highly adaptable individual.

My current position offers me the title of Science Technician and Instructor; whilst the majority of my role involves supporting scientific investigations carried out by students at Stafford College, over the past year I have taken on an almost equal level of responsibility for administrative duties throughout three departments.

Although science is my background and I have a great passion for the subject, I feel I am very well suited to administrative roles. I have a logical way of working and revel in an opportunity to bring structure and organization to new projects or support areas which are lacking in their current management systems.

I am always looking to further myself and am currently working on producing my first novel, I also have a passion for reading and photography, this is something I bring to my professional career and so I am always open to new experiences or training
