Skills

IT


Long-time technology enthusiast and "part-time geek". I'm an advanced user with experience working with all major productivity suites (MS Office, OpenOffice, Apple iWork, Adobe Creative Suite) on all major platforms (Windows, Mac OS and Linux). I've used and managed several online CMSs, wikis and databases such as FileMaker and MS Access. I know how to use technology to increase productivity, rather than create distractions.

Public speaking & presentations


I have never shied away from public speaking. I was deputy head-boy at school and the sole student representative for my degree course on the student-staff liaison committee. I promoted my university at over 15 open-days in front of many applicants and their inquisitive parents and have featured in an article for The Linguist magazine. I’ve also been interviewed live in studio on BBC News 24 speaking about employment during the recession and internships abroad.

Languages and culture


I grew up in Wales, went to University in England, have spent many long summers in Italy and have worked in Germany for nearly two years. I have successfully worked in international teams as well as those with a distinct national feel.

My languages include English (Native), German (Fluent) and Italian (Conversational).
