I have just completed my final year of study at The University of Manchester.  During my time at university studying Fashion Management I have developed a broad understanding of the fashion retail environment.  Alongside university I have completed internships and taken on projects as a free-lance stylist. My devotion to work on these projects alongside university, is an example of my commitment to finding my place in the world of work. Currently I am looking to work in a role where I can draw upon my current knowledge, as well as learn and develop new skills that are essential to my further employability
