Personal Statement
An enthusiastic and hard-working individual who enjoys working as part of a team in order to achieve both group and individual goals. I display a flexible approach to all tasks set before me and have a “can do” attitude when taking on new goals. I am an effective motivator and believe this is reflected in my work.
Ideally I would like to pursue my career in the teaching/training industry or managing a 5* spa. In the mean time I am working towards gaining as much practical experience and theoretical knowledge as possible and look to complete several courses of personal interest to me which will go towards my continuing professional development.
