About me

I have been a carer for various family members since I was 19 and now feel the time is right to move on with a career within IT which I'm passionate about. Caring had its highs and lows, and it has given me skills and experience I can transfer to other career paths. I have learnt to be patient and understanding about user needs and know how to work with the less abled and people with hidden disabilities. This has allowed me to develop into the strong, independent, caring, and knowledgeable young woman I am today.

I am a hardworking and creative individual passionate about computing and IT who is willing to learn new skills and progress my career within IT. I organise my time well and I'm punctual. I put others before my own needs. I'm self-motivated, working well both in a group and independently. I'm a quick thinker and have excellent customer service skills, providing a high standard of positive customer relations.

I have also run a successful freelance media design business from home. Through this I gained a Prince's Trust Flying Start Award for young business start-ups. If I see an opportunity to improve myself and my surroundings I will go out and do what needs to be done to achieve my aim. I understand the changing times and how to react professionally to various situations in a positive manner.

My last caring role ended in April 2021 and I'm currently looking to further my career within IT, whether its progressing on my web development skills as I enjoy branding and designing for various industries as expressed within my portfolio.
