PROFILE
I am a technically minded, highly organised individual with extensive experience in multiple areas
of customer service. This has included general retail, to one on one bespoke service and hosting.
I also have strong administration and events organising skills that have made me very confident
in my abilities in research, overseeing and planning; plus I am confident with bookkeeping,
accounts and payments. I am very confident in my correspondence abilities; whether over the
phone, via email or face to face. My experience also means I am number and IT literate with a
keen eye for detail and staying in control while multitasking, communication, organisation and
working in a team; plus managing a team to ensure all work is completed accurately and to a high
standard. Although teamwork is a large part of my experience, I am confident using my own
initiative and also with self-management. feel my strong customer service skills and
administration & organisational abilities would make me an asset to any team.

VOLUNTEER/CHARITY WORK
● I have worked with The Mothers’ Union charity in both their Sales & Dispatch and Action
& Outreach departments; this was on both a volunteer and paid basis. Within my roles
here I worked closely with donors and processed orders for their catalogue. I also worked
with the Outreach team, where I sifted through letters and emails from people requesting
aid from one of the areas the charity helps.
● Recently, I volunteered with Parkinson’s UK at one of their evening lecture events. This
involved seating all attendees, many of whom had Parkinson’s themselves; so sensitivity
and understanding of their condition was essential. I also helped at one of their recent
fundraising events, handing out literature and talking to people in the local area about the
condition while members of the charity abseiled down a building. I also worked with
Parkinson’s UK at the London Marathon in 2015; helping to run their post-race reception.
● In 2014 I attended Saltex, a landscaping trade show, where I ran the stand for The
Landscaper Magazine. This involved talking to anyone walking past about the magazine,
signing them up for a copy and also getting the details of those interested in advertising to
give to the Commercial Director.
● I have also volunteered with FanFest conventions, and will be volunteering with them at
two events in 2017 again. In addition I am a volunteer crew member with Showmasters
Conventions for their London Film and Comic Con events.
