I am a recent music graduate in Bristol looking for work in the hospitality sector. I consider myself friendly, enthusiastic and relaxed, positive, polite and easy to talk to. I am keen to become part of a team where I can be a positive asset. Alongside my music degree, I am developing my own Drum & Bass events company, based in Bristol, and building my DJ portfolio with local gigs and events. I enjoy festivals and travel, including a year exploring Southeast Asia and Bali, where I completed a PADI Open Water course and volunteered on a marine conservation project. I also keep active with regular exercise and water sports like wakeboarding and surfing.
