Laura's Profile
Experience Summary
I have recently returned to the UK from Taiwan, where I have spent the last two years teaching English to children. Whilst I was there I learnt a lot about different cultures and languages as well as experiencing promotional work in a different continent! I graduated in 2010 from the University of Brighton with a 2.1 BSc honours degree in Environmental Sciences. My main interest is travelling and I have spent periods of time in Thailand, USA and South Africa where I taught Sports to underpriviledged children in the townships. I also enjoy playing sports such as Hockey, swimming and adventure sports, I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things!
I have been working in promotions for almost four years. I currently work for Cellar Trends promoting brands such as Jagermeister, Luxardo and Midori in mainly clubs and bars in Bristol. I have taken the role of team leader on many of these promotions and enjoyed it very much. I am highly experienced in Sampling and Leafletiing but am always ready to try something new and enjoy a challenge. I am a bubbly, punctual, and hard working person and work well either as part of a team or as team leader. View
