I am a highly efficient, confident individual, who likes to make the most of using her initiative. I am looking to relocate, if necessary, for a role which will challenge me. Both creative and intelligent; I can overcome problems quickly and easily. Therefore, I pride myself in being reliable and dependable in both work and social situations. I am always trying to exceed my own expectations, setting new targets for myself and surpassing existing ones. I constantly strive to learn new skills and adapt to new situations without difficulty. Suited to all work environments, I am not scared to speak out when necessary, but still enjoy being part of a team. I enjoy a challenge, one that both stimulates my imagination, and requires me to test my skills and initiative. I have Photoshop, scanning and retouching, experience, along with book template and magazine spread creation using InDesign, I can navigate my way around most Mac and PC software, including Microsoft Word, Outlook, etc. Personal Details Marital Status: Single Date of Birth: 9th September 1985 Nationality: British Driving Licence: Yes, Clean/Full National Insurance Number: JN333054C Education Sixth Form College, Lymm High School.
