I have recently finished my 6th year of High School and searching for a part-time job during the summer, I work well with others and have a respectful attitude. I am a good communicator and able to listen to feedback from others. I am reliable and very organised.

In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym which I go to almost daily in which I enjoy lifting weights as it helps build my physical and mental strength, making me more disciplined and resilient as a person. Also in my free time, I often play basketball with my friends having fun whilst in a competitive environment. I am a very practical individual.

I currently attended Cumbernauld Chiefs which I began in Dec 2022 in which I train basketball twice weekly amongst other experienced players of my age. I often participate in friendly games and competitive training exercises, doing this training has helped my coordination and team-building skills. 

My friend and I founded our school's basketball team in March 2021. My responsibility was often to instruct the younger pupils, ensuring they had fun and learned simultaneously. As a coach to the younger students, I taught them the fundamentals of basketball, and, in turn, I learned how to communicate better with others. In addition to coaching, I was a starting player in our senior team, representing our school at tournaments and friendly matches. Playing basketball with schools all over Glasgow has sparked newfound confidence, strengthening my sense of teamwork and competitive spirit. Due to this competitiveness, I strive to perform at my best on and off the court.
