“I am a confident and creative individual, with an eagerness to succeed in everything I do. I am an adaptable team player but I can also work equally as well when set an individual task. I consider myself an all-rounder and always aim to do my very best; some may even call me a perfectionist”

I have a real interest in art and fashion. I enjoy reading blogs and magazines, and keeping up to date with fashion brands via social networks. Being from London I am lucky that I am near to many great galleries and museums which I try to visit as often as possible; in particular when there is an exhibition on. I take pleasure in countryside walks and watching the rugby and cricket
