I have excellent general computer skills including knowledge of word, excel and

I have good communication skills which has been helped from my experiences of
working with others from all walks of life and different positions of power.

I have some experience of learning about racism and the problems it creates due to
my studies in Criminology and Criminal Justice.

My time in university and work experiences have made me competent in working under
pressure and to meeting specific deadlines.

I have a large amount of experience working within teams through my work in the
tourism industry and my experiences of playing in sports teams from an early age.

I am also a keen sports fan, especially football. My degree dissertation was based
on the policing and development of laws concerning football hooliganism which
contained some research on racism in football.

I do not have a large amount of website maintenance experience but I have good I.T
skills and find it easy to adapt to new computer systems.

My degree course has given me some knowledge about ethnic communities and the
problems that they can face.

My whole education has been through the welsh system.
