Currently in my fourth year of studying History at the University of Edinburgh, I am extremely keen to pursue a career in PR or Communications following graduation. Having obtained experience in this field through internships and work experience I am extremely passionate about entering this industry. I am a confident, personable, well presented and enthusiastic person with high ambitions. My methodical way of thinking allows me to complete tasks to a deadline and makes me a very dedicated worker; however I am also highly adaptable and am quick to learn new skills. I fully understand the importance of dedication in any work; I immerse myself fully in any challenge given to me and endeavour to complete tasks to an extremely high standard.
