MARTELLO BEACH LIMITED | May 2014 - Oct 2016

Bar Person

In this role I learnt to adapt very quickly and there was much team work involved. I served drinks to customers, completed cleaning duties as well as serving food. I also dealt with customer requests and phone calls in the evenings. I was involved with cashiering, this involved opening up and closing down, also working primarily unsupervised and prioritised tasks whilst doing so.

University of Sussex | Jun 2016 - Sep 2016

Junior Research Associate

Over the summer months I undertook an original research project titled: Are the forecast of amateur football pundits rational? This was funded through the JRA scheme within my university. The project vastly improved my econometric and statistical skills especially within the STATA programme. It helped me a lot as much of the work was individual and it encouraged me to seek out my own solutions to problems. My supervisor set me small tasks to complete within small timeframes and pushed my statistical knowledge much above that expecting at my level.
