PERSONAL PROFILE
My artistic and creative nature thrives in fast moving, flexible and dynamic working environments where I enjoy interacting with others who also share my interests in music, photography, media and the arts. I play trumpet and sing, both to Grade 8 standard and am a member of several bands in Manchester. My gregarious and often extrovert persona makes me an enthusiastic team member, however I am really quite an introvert and I am equally happy being given tasks to complete independently. My other enduring passion is sport, in particular, Taekwondo, which I have practiced since a young age. As well as keeping me fit, I love being part of a team and beating up the boys!
