PROFILE As I am currently studying Fashion Marketing at Northumbria University, I have proven to be a very hardworking and enthusiastic student looking for new opportunities.

Acquiring new skills is something that comes naturally to me as I thrive in a fast paced environment and always meet my targets and goals. As a fashion enthusiast with an eye for style I am always looking for new opportunities to build on my fashion industry experience.
