Summary
Currently an Undergraduate Student in my hometown of Greater Manchester, at The University of Salford.
Despite this, I attain significant experience in a variety of industries. From Further Education Governance, Chairing Committees, Private Tutoring, Exam Coordination, & Social Care, alongside undertaking work experience within the Financial Services sector.
During my Further Education studies, I had served as Student Governor, Senior Student Representative, & Student Ambassador Lead, alongside my studies which I had been awarded D*DD (152 UCAS Points). Attaining the duty as Student Governor had enabled me to work with Senior Managers, Governing Body, & Local Authorities. My main interest when serving as a Governor had been to support students with SEND to progress academically & find an industry that sparked their passion.
I had also chaired a committee consisting of Student Governors nationwide, serving under the Association of Colleges (a non-for-profit organisation who consult FE bodies nationwide). This had enabled me professionally & personally to develop my interpersonal skills line-managing other student leaders & understand the imperativeness of integrity managing committees.
