Hello, my name is Shivain and I’m a student and creative from Leicester. I am confident that my background in performing arts, along with my experience in marketing and customer engagement, make me a strong candidate for this role. My name is Shivain Kara-Patel, and I am currently a student from Hamilton, Leicester, completing a BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Musical Theatre. I’m seeking a part-time opportunity to support my studies while continuing to develop my professional skills in a fast- paced, customer-facing environment. As a sociable and outgoing individual, I thrive when meeting new people and connecting with diverse audiences—skills that are essential in both performance and sales. My experience in the performing arts has taught me the value of punctuality, organisation, and teamwork. Working within various productions has also strengthened my ability to adapt, manage time effectively, and communicate confidently. In addition to my work in the arts, I have gained valuable experience in the marketing sector— particularly in social media and music marketing. I previously managed promotional campaigns for recording artists Miriam Nyarko, and winners of The Voice Kids Shanice & Andrea, where I created and distributed press releases to over 20 curated publications, resulting in notable media coverage. I also pitched songs to major streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music, and designed social media content that increased engagement by 129%, ultimately contributing to 35,000 streams of her EP in its first week. I bring enthusiasm, professionalism, and a genuine passion for connecting with people from all walks of life. As a proud British-Indian, I embrace working in diverse environments and believe this outlook helps me build strong, respectful relationships with customers and colleagues alike.
