Interests

LEADERSHIP , I show initiative in all situations and am happy to take the lead. An example of this is being on a late shift at McDonald's, I had to close the store. Making sure all cashiers were collected and counted and allocating team roles in which it can be a calm closure of the restaurant ready for a neat and tidy opening for the morning. Another example of this would be taking the lead in a rehearsal at Butlins. A fellow cast member fell sick and as a team the rest of the cast had to quickly respace the show and I had to learn their role. This results in guests still having a show to watch. I took it upon myself to learn their lines in my own time.
