Personal statement I am looking to gain more professional experience in design engineering preferably using 3D CAD and other related design tools in a role where I can exercise some creativity. I am an excellent communicator which has enabled me to work successfully in a sales and customer service driven environment and I have received praise for my presentation skills from academic staff at university and fellow students. Prior to my CAD degree I did two years of Software engineering and have a talent for database management and basic computer programming. In my spare time I enjoy socialising, reading and cycling; I also sculpt and paint for occasional commission work or myself.
