Carrin Reynolds
Rettendon Common,Essex
Summary
I am an A level student (18) studying Biology, Chemistry and French. I am taking a little time before any next steps and want to invest in my coaching. Along side my studies, I have been a level 1 coach for 10 months with a further 2 years as an assistant coach. I really enjoy my contribution to children's gymnastics journey and have coached many ages ranging from 4 years old up to 14 years old.
Before coaching, I achieved Grade 6 of British Gymnastics. Furthermore, since I was a preschooler, I have ice skated. I am currently working at level 4 of the British Ice Skating Association.
Alongside my studies and coaching, I have volunteered extensively. I have completed work experience in both small animal and equine veterinary clinics. I am also part of the lead rein volunteer team at the Riding School for the Disabled near Chelmsford. I have also volunteered in a local cattery looking after the welfare and food of boarding cats.
