Ellie's Profile
Experience Summary
My experience is multi-faceted, mainly interacting with people from all walks of life, succeeding in rising to challenges and enjoying the rewards of a job well done.
I'm outgoing and strongly driven with extensive qualifications and experiences acquired during a varied career. A clear and articulate communicator with people from all walks of life, both verbally and in writing, who is fluent in English, Spanish and French. Having spent time teaching languages at home and abroad, I can easily adjust to new people and situations. My wide experience including working in media as a radio / TV journalist and Presenter, in education as a supply teacher of modern foreign languages, in events and corporate hospitality as a hostess and promotions assistant, as well as a multi-lingual interpreter and customer services advisor, has all served to significantly enhance my CV. I'm a valuable and reliable team player with strong leadership potential who also works effectively on own initiative, even in the most demanding situations. I have a keen interest in media, live music, events, travel, languages... and I love singing in a number of fab choirs.
In a nutshell:

An articulate communicator both verbally and in writing in English, Spanish and French
