Summary

I am a dedicated student at UHI Thurso College currently studying NC5 Engineering Systems and SVQ2 Performing Engineering Operations and Engineering Practice. I am enthusiastic, focused, and reliable, with a strong capacity for learning and a commitment to developing both my technical and personal skills.

Alongside my studies, I work part‑time at Forss House Hotel, where I regularly cover morning, evening, and weekend shifts. This role has helped me build confidence in customer service, strengthen my time‑management, and adapt well in a fast‑paced environment.

I am also actively involved in local sports and community groups, where I’ve developed strong teamwork, leadership, and organisational skills. These experiences have helped me grow into a positive, proactive individual who enjoys taking on responsibility and working well with others.
