Skills • Fully proficient in Word and Powerpoint • Working Knowledge in Adobe InDesing, Illustrator and Photoshop CS6
Interests • Whilst at University, I’m interested in the local community and getting involved. In November 2013, I volunteered at a music event at the Nottingham Contemporary called ‘Dia De Muertos’ where I assisted in decorating the venue and photographing the attendee’s costumes and the venue itself. • Travel and Cultural learning. This is something I have a high interest in and is incredibly important for me to grow as a person. Spending August 2013 travelling around India taught me some lessons I wouldn’t have learnt in Enland, I want to keep learning.
