I am a creative and recently trained copywriter seeking the first step in this new career path which will utilise the drafting and communication skills developed through my previous employment, during which I have successfully collaborated with various internal departments and third parties to create and improve team processes that allowed the team to work more efficiently and meet industry targets. Prior to this I managed and assisted with large caseloads of high-value, complex personal injury and medical negligence claims, showing myself to be motivated, organised and capable of working under pressure. I am currently looking for a role that will allow me to bring my expertise to a company that will offer both variety and the opportunity to develop my new skills.
