Customer Assistant
Vets4Pets, Sevenoaks
September 2014 - May 2016
I worked alongside both customers and staff, learning key communication skills, empathy and compassion. I was responsible for pre- and post-operation preparation, meaning a lot of pressure was placed on me to set out the correct instruments for the differing operations. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here, and it was a very rewarding experience all round. References available upon request.

I have multiple duties within the society, including; content editor for the society’s official website, public relations handler, social media representative, and I will also play a crucial part in the organisation of CovHack 2020 - a 24-hour hackathon event.
Coventry Hackathon (CovHack) 2019
Coventry University
16th - 17th March 2019
A hackathon is an event in which participants have 24 hours to make a project of their choosing. We had over 40 participants which, especially for our first ever hackathon, was an incredible number. I found it a challenge to coordinate our organisation team while organising the attendees too, but it was rewarding to hear everyone’s positive comments at the end of the event.
"Real World Project"
Coventry University

I worked with five other students to create a steganography tool which is able to encode, send, receive, and decode messages. A range of languages were used to create the hashing algorithm, and a GUI to accompany it.
