About

Potts

I am a BA English Literature graduate from Cardiff University. My skills include a persistent work ethic, an analytical mind-set and a proficiency in interpreting and understanding large bodies of text, supported by my experience in studying languages, including Spanish and German. I have a strong passion for archival work, especially the study of literary manuscripts, which lends itself to my meticulous nature and strong attention to detail. I have travelled extensively to Australia, Canada, Uganda, Kenya and throughout Europe, during which I have worked in a range of jobs, gaining valuable experience in multiple fields and learning the importance of communication and leadership. I believe this experience and my aforementioned skills establishes me as a reliable and astute worker that can function well as part of a team and independently.

Moreover, I have worked in multiple labour-based roles before, all of which required a strong work ethic and high attention detail, all while maintaining good time management and professionalism. These roles included working as a landscaper and garden builder for Manon Tremblay Garden Design and Walmsley Shaw Garden Builders, and as a Graduate Trainee in Clifton Hotel’s busy Property Development department. All of which required me to have a strong technical knowledge of multiple trades, including carpentry, electrics, and plumbing. While also work independently on projects, ensuring I balanced multiple responsibilities and making large decisions using my own initiative.
