      Aug 2015 - Jul 2022

      As a Shift Manager I worked to ensure both crew and customers werecomfortable and happy in the restaurant environment. When on shift, I was in charge of sales, labour controls, crew organisation and wellbeing, health and safety, COVID-19 procedures, and shift management.I was promoted to this role while studying away from home at Swansea University, and so completed my course very independently outside of the restaurant environment. For my final course I was sent to McDonalds HQ in East Finchley, London.I undertook this role in addition to studying at The University of Manchester and also while I was studying at Swansea University.

      Assistant project manager

      In this role I assisted in the management of various projects within the Turner & Townsend portfolio. This included coordination between multiple parties including clients and contractors, project organisation, admin, and general project management. My last project was Santander’s Unity Place in Milton Keynes. This was a community centred work space, hosting multiple parties across a range of sectors in one space, as well as creating space for the general public to enjoy socialising with options for food and retail opportunities, moving from day to night with ease. This project had sustainability at its core. Show less
