PROFILE
My work history to date has been very varied. After finishing my secondary education, I worked within finance for the NHS, customer services and planning for a large mobile phone company, and handling complaints within the tourist industry. After the birth of my son, I decided to formalise my language knowledge, by studying for a degree in Modern Languages. Languages have always been my first love, and while working in other industries I was able to continue using my languages by working on an ad-hoc basis doing translation and interpretation. However, beginning professional study enabled me to take that considerably further in a very short space of time. Working within this area is what I am meant for.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
I am immensely proud of that fact that I have managed to complete my degree in a relatively short period of time, whilst also looking after my son. I feel this is a massive achievement, and relish the opportunities that this will bring. I am a very fast learner, and take pride in completing any task promptly and accurately.
