Sharan's Profile
Experience Summary
I am an energetic and confident person, and I love socialising and taking on a challenge; when I put my mind to something I commit myself 100%. I think this quality really helps in promotional work!
Whilst being a student I worked in various promotional fields including face-to-face charity fundraising, in store food sampling and leafleting. I have acquired an expanse of skills that always help me fulfil my brief, successfully complete campaigns and hopefully surpass expectations!
If you are looking for someone reliable but also driven and charismatic then I would love to help on your campaign! View
