Amelia Deakin

Reliable, friendly, and creative young adult looking for flexible work opportunities to boost my portfolio and to gain exciting experiences with new people and workspaces.  I have been employed at several very different work environments - admin, creative, and manual - and received excellent feedback.  I am open to being part of a wide variety of teams and projects.

I am currently pursuing a degree in Psychology at the University of Birmingham, so gaining experiences will be a key step for me in the broader working world when the time comes for me to make my way out of education.  Looking forward to being part of your team!
