As an In-Store Sales Associate (and Cashier) in Lidl I have acquired the personal skills necessary to thrive in my position: focus on efficiency, organization, time management and communication skills. Being extroverted and communicative has been a great advantage, but being focused, reliable and a team-player have been the characteristics that I have mostly been praised for. - Register - Customer assistance - Item presentation - Administrative tasks (Item freshness check; Item removal; Bake-off management)

As a receptionist (who often worked nigh-shift, meaning I was the only staff member in the hotel) I was responsible for: - Check-in and Check-out - Charging and proving the status of payments - Preparing an invoice for clients - Processing and editing reservations - Managing the hotel register - Assisting guests with organizational and personal/on-the-spot issues that may occur - Helping kitchen staff with breakfast preparation - End-of-day register and system check, and other administrative tasks

Double degree: Major - "English and American Studies"/"Anglistik und Amerikanistik" Minor - "Communication and Media Studies"/"Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft" My studies combine various fields such as: - language proficiency (written and oral communication) - linguistics (language development/history) - history (England & US) - literature (critique/analysis; creative writing) - film (analysis, critique, screenwriting, etc) - basics of German media - mass communication in Germany - etc
