Summary

I have had a lot of work experience in a range of industries such as waitressing, making coffees , cleaning , running my own small business, office work and doing one-on-one private piano lessons along with many qualifications such as my lifeguard certificate and a first aid certificate that gives me a well rounded experience in many fields. I especially enjoy customer service and being able to converse with different people everyday. I am currently in my second year of studying Engineering in Trinity College Dublin and hope to pursue this as a career in the future once completing my degree.
