Let me start off by telling you a little bit about myself. I am a very hard-working person who loves to talk to others and has been working since the age of 16. I am passionate about Striving to do my best and overcoming any hurdle or challenges that come my way. I used to play football and basketball at many schools in my younger years but later decided to get a job and gain experience through public service.

I took my GCSEs at Cheney school in the summer of 2016. Whilst studying for my GCSEs, I was also a prefect. This helped me become a good role model for the younger years through my behaviour, attendance, and uniform. This was an important part of shaping the person I am today, as it helped me realise my teamwork, leadership and communication skills.

Being a prefect required me to speak to students about any concerns and relay this information to the teachers to help provide the best environment for learning. I also took part in many house activities such as football and cross country. Taking part in sporting activities within my community and school became a passion of mine that I continued into my adult years. Similarly, for prefects, there were also break time and lunchtime duties that had to be followed, which included supervision and organisation of extra activities. I’ve also taken part in leading group competitions and events as everyone relied on me for the organisation of these.

During my years of experience at different jobs, I realised that a caring attitude centred on treating people with dignity and respect is important in every role. I've also found that collaborative teamwork with strong communication skills can make all the difference in a work place.

Furthermore, over the years, I've possessed strengths in task prioritisation and customer service, ready to leverage training and experience to take on new professional challenges. Also, I have a strong dedication to partnering with coworkers to promote an engaged, empowering work culture, in a fast-pace setting.
