Chester, Uk

Growing up in a business environment since the age of 14, I am a highly motivated mature final year BA (Hons) Business Marketing student (expected First Class) with six years’ practical experience and a passion for marketing.

A native Spanish speaker, I have been living in the UK since 2008. I have just celebrated my 29th birthday and have extensive experience in the workplace.

My previous roles have been across a broad range of sectors involving people and team management; in fact I was a Volunteer Manager for a team of 52 volunteers over a period of three years. I played my part in the team and we raised over £1 million to restore a church, which originally served as Chester's first cathedral. I helped build the project's brand by developing its website http://www.thesjp.com/

I have other experience, including working for the NHS, helping to manage an appeal for premature babies. While studying at university I have worked for a number of tactical marketing campaigns including Intel, Asda (Wal-Mart), Play-Do, Lynx and Nicorette.

University has given me time to develop my creative side and gain technical skills in business marketing. I hope my Spanish passion and desire to succeed will start to make a difference in the marketing world.
