Short Bio:

I am a British citizen with a BA Criminology degree and now live permanently in Abuja. I am a young highly motivated woman with a broad range of skills. I am computer literate and competent with Microsoft Word and Office applications. I am confident in multi-tasking and have experience of identifying the needs of customers and key clients. I pride myself on my friendly manner and ability to quickly understand the mission, vision and values of an organisation.
My degree taught me the crucial importance of multitasking and developing my skills in note taking and reporting. I was able to develop a range of research skills, particularly during the final year, when conducting a research project with the Avon and Somerset Constabulary. This opportunity developed my self-reliance and independence in the work place and made me appreciate the importance of patience and efficiency.
Since graduating I have had two years of experience within the Retail sector, which has been valuable in the development of my interpersonal skills. I was efficient at working to targets within a time schedule and achieving the marketing goals of my employers. The work taught me the importance of customer care, integrity and honesty whilst managing the diversity of customers; I twice achieved 100% in ‘Mystery Shopper’ assessments. I would bring these qualities of professionalism, accountability and respect to any post within a company or organisation. I am able to be proactive in my work and am comfortable with liaising with customers and companies.
I am looking for a new challenge that will develop my existing skills and attributes. I believe my self-motivation and inter personal skills enable me to work well in a team.
