Marco Ball-Albarran

I am a graduate from a Russell-group University with experience in client & service sector fields. The broader scope
of language-use is tied to my interest in digital applications, and I pursue improvements in quality, classification,
information structure, and natural language understanding. I am looking to bootstrap my career by working in a
positive modern industry, one that is ambitious and fosters my earnest curiosity to acquire and apply new
skills. My work experience has taught me how to be a proactive worker through fermenting a strong command of
written and spoken Spanish & English.

degree, I am comfortable handling qualitative & quantitative data and engaging in lateral
thinking to produce arguments lucidly and concisely.
