members of the public which allowed me to enhance my inter-personal skills and deal with a wide range of people.

Skills: Languages: IT: Basic Oral and Written French I have advanced IT skills and am more than comfortable using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook. I have used a range of different computer software as a result of my degree and which have also been used to indulge my passion for writing and recording electronic music.

Interests: Travel: I have visited the USA, Australia, Europe, Hong Kong, Brunei and Malaysia and am keen to travel further in order to broaden my horizons by experiencing different cultures and ways of life. I have recently commenced TEFL course which I anticipate will enable me to indulge my desire to travel. I am passionate about music and play both the guitar and drums.
