Summary

I am a hardworking and enthusiastic student, currently working towards completing my Level 3 Extended Diploma in Business at the Isle of Man College, with final exams in June 2025. I am seeking a full time role that will allow me to be continually challenged while gaining valuable experience.

Having completed two summer internships with Zurich, I am eager to begin my career there following my studies. This would give me the opportunity to continue developing my skills in a professional environment that supports growth and learning.

Throughout both my work experience placements and my most recent part-time role, I have consistently received positive feedback, particularly in the following areas:

  • Taking initiative
  • Maturity
  • Confidence when dealing with customers
  • I am skilled in team leadership and operational improvements. Excel at boosting team morale and productivity through clear communication and positive reinforcement. Successfully implemented process changes that streamlined workflow and enhanced customer satisfaction.
