Business and ICT student with an individual flair, driven by a desire to succeed. Diligent, enthusiastic and hard-working, I strive to better my knowledge and abilities in order to achieve my goals. I possess many skills and abilities – such as interpersonal, problem solving and strong IT skills – that continue to blossom and expand as I work towards my future career. I have developed my skills and knowledge whilst working for GE on a 1 year placement scheme, as well as volunteering as a Marketing Assistant at Zeun Digital. A variety of University and placement projects have offered me valuable experience and helped to fuel my passion for Project Management and Marketing. On top of those projects, I’m also a practised fundraiser and negotiator with excellent leadership and organisational skills. Such skills have helped me to organise events which raised over £20,000 for the Prince of Wales Hospice. I feel that the success of these events best convey my determination and dedication, two attributes that I find useful while immersed in a business environment.
As part of my IT Project Management role, I am responsible for delivering a number of technical projects including a cost saving initiative for GE's Pipeline Inspection business. The project involves liaising with Amazon Web Services to set up the infrastructure of a cloud platform. I am also responsible for conducting big data tests prior to the data transfer from all Pipeline Inspection sites onto the cloud platform. I am also working to simplify how the cross-functional team gets parts ready on the system, shortening the time it takes to collect orders and ship products.
I am also working in the Marketing & Communications department where I design media plans for each quarter. I am responsible for determining what content and media channels should be used and how frequent we should post on each channel. I am also looking at creating an Online Services Portal to help customers manage their device, for example they will receive re-calibration reminders and firmware upgrades. On a regular basis I have to present to the management team which has significantly improved my confidence and presentation skills.
Creating blog content for the company website and helping to support the chosen charity Homeless and Rootless at Christmas with website and social media management.
Currently studying Business and ICT at Sheffield Hallam University. I am on my placement year at GE but will return to University in September to complete my final year.
