Summary

I am a hard working 16 year old looking for a part time job at the weekend, evenings and during the summer holidays. I am determined and not afraid to push myself to complete a challenge and can work well alone or as part of a team.


I pride myself on my people skills and I enjoy being a leader, but am also able to allow others to guide me in tasks we complete together, as I am a big team player and able to follow instructions well.

Interests

Hobbies: I have a great passion for everything I involve myself in and will give anything a go, I love to write my own songs, listen to music and have a passion for books as well as focusing on drama and sport.


Theatre & Singing: 

  • I am a longstanding member of the Apollo Theatre Group, and I was recently successful in an audition for SIX The Musical where I am one of the leads.
  • I recently took part in National Theatre Connections which is a nationwide youth theatre festival run by the National Theatre in London, we performed a play about climate change called ‘Is My Microphone On' which we performed in Brighton, Chichester and London.
  • I was successful in being cast as the part of Grace in the musical Annie which played for 5 days at Roedean Theatre in December 2021. This took a lot of courage and belief in my own abilities, as this required several rounds of auditions and call backs, in front of 40+ people.

Sailing & Watersports: 

  • I have completed my RYA level 4 youth sailing + level 2 windsurfing award which was very challenging at times due to the amount of step-by-step skills I had to remember in order to be safe on the water. I'd like to be a watersports instructor one summer overseas.
