Summary
I am a highly motivated Sports and Exercise Science graduate with a commitment to pursuing a career in teaching within a sports environment. I have a vast background in working and engaging with various demographics which has allowed me to strongly develop my interpersonal skills in communication, responsibility and especially my teamwork ability. During my studies I have improved my interdisciplinary understanding that will allow me to use my knowledge in my future career aspirations and help others recognize the significant benefits that Sport and Exercise can in modern society. I perceive myself to be enthusiastic about Sport and pride myself on the experiences that I have gained, I aspire to take this attitude into teaching to see how far I am able to excel in my career and apply my valuable knowledge into practical situations that will benefit others while simultaneously gaining new and serviceable skills. I am currently working as a Sports Graduate Assistant at Bruton School for Girls based in Somerset in order to gain valuable learning and experience within the education sector.
