Jul 2022 - Sep 2022
I spent 10 weeks working with the National Wholesale team in Diageo’s London headquarters. During my time there, I worked independently on two projects to improve the way new products are marketed and launched into the Wholesale business. These were met with positive feedback from my team and superiors, and I implemented new steps for future launches as a result of these projects. I also worked on out-of-role projects, including: - Designing an informative, interactive presentation for buyers from the nation’s largest supermarkets who visit Diageo HQ - Compiling monthly reviews of competitors’ pricing and advertising strategies, which I then presented to colleagues with recommendations of how to improve our own advertising going forward

English Language Assistant
-
Oct 2020 - May 2021
Liceo Scientifico 'Evangelista Torricelli' I spent the third year of my degree in Italy, in order to improve my spoken and working language skills. Working as an English Language Assistant for the British Council, I taught English to high school students (aged 14-19). I thoroughly enjoyed this opportunity to gain more experience with an age group I hadn't worked extensively with yet. My responsibilities included planning lessons and finding ways to encourage students to participate and feel comfortable in class. My work was split between in-person teaching and online working, which was a great learning experience.

Before beginning my studies in Spanish at university, I spent several weeks working as an Au Pair in Galicia, northern Spain. This experience was an excellent way for me to improve my knowledge of the Spanish language and Galician culture, whilst learning how to work with young children. I greatly developed my confidence, amongst other skills, and built a lasting relationship with the family I worked for.
