Mar 2018 - Nov 2019
I have used my passion for the life, work and times of Shakespeare to welcome visitors of all backgrounds to the iconic birthplace of Shakespeare and his mother’s house at Mary Arden’s Farm. I was responsible for banking, cash handling and duty management of Mary Arden’s Farm. I have endeavoured to go beyond visitors’ expectations at every stage of their journey to these historic attractions and have received positive comments in visitor feedback forms to attest to this.
