About me
I am a dedicated and motivated recent graduate. I have a first-class honours BSc in Economics and Management with a year in industry experience as well. I have worked as a commercial intern for Yves Saint Laurent Beauty, a subdivision of L'Oreal UK&I. During my placement at YSL Beauty, I supported the senior national account manager and worked closely with department store retailers. The nature of my role meant I was the first port of call for any daily inquiries from retailers, this role allowed me to become highly organised and an effective time manager as my day to day job was very varied and required someone who was on the ball all the time. I also was effectively the 'middle man' (woman!) between the department store retailers and our internal marketing, PR, and VM teams, thus I have a lot of experience in working with different teams and being a good communicator. Due to my great interest in beauty influencers and social media as a key business tool, I was given the responsibility of working closely with the YSL Beauty PR team to organise two intimate meet and greet events with 2 very popular UK influencers at one of the UK's largest department stores. This experience showed me how much I would enjoy working in PR or social media as a full time position and having recently graduated, I am now looking for an entry level role in the social media realms. From studying economics as my major, I have great quantitative and analytical skills however the theory and reading aspect of my degree means I have strong written skills and can communicate ideas through words very well. During my internship at L'Oreal, I was given the responsibility of being the online account manager for the YSL Beauty account with department store retailers, so I have a strong understanding of digital marketing and eCommerce channels. Outside of my education and professional experience, I spent a lot of my personal time on Instagram and Youtube, as I love beauty and have my own makeup/beauty content creation page on Instagram. From this I have self-taught myself how to edit photos and videos using software like Adobe light room and iMovies, as well as the editing and content creation tools on Instagram like 'reels'. I am very up-to-date with a wide variety of UK and international beauty influencers, and micro-influencers and have a great appreciation for the online beauty community. My ideal job sector would be the beauty industry as really and truly, that is where my passion lies. I am a creative and curious individual, and my inquisitive nature means I am always willing to learn and develop new skills. Being a motivated and dedicated person, I am not afraid of working hard to do well. Having a friendly and approachable personality allows me to work well in a team, whilst being flexible enough to adapt my working style as necessary.
