Summary

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic Physical Education teacher currently completing my Early Career Teacher (ECT Year 1) induction, with a BSc (Hons) in Sport and Exercise Science, PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). I am passionate about inspiring young people to achieve their full potential through high-quality teaching, coaching and pastoral support.

I am a hardworking, adaptable and organised professional who thrives in challenging environments and maintains high expectations of both myself and my students. I have experience teaching across diverse school settings, including high-performance sport through Woodlands School's Elite Performance Development (EPD) programme and a Trauma Perceptive Practice environment at Basildon Academies. These experiences have strengthened my behaviour management, communication and leadership skills while reinforcing my commitment to creating inclusive learning environments where every student can succeed.

I take pride in building positive relationships with students and colleagues, contributing to extracurricular sport, and continually developing my practice to achieve the best possible outcomes for young people.

Customer Assistant

Tesco
2014.11 - 2024.06

During my tenure at Tesco, I've had the privilege of working across four different stores throughout the country, each relocation coinciding with different stages of my education This unique experience has afforded me the opportunity to assume various roles within the organization, contributing to different aspects of store operations. Across these diverse roles, spanning Grocery, Produce, Fresh, Checkouts, and Warehouse departments, I've consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic and dedication to excellence I take pride in my ability to adapt swiftly to new environments and responsibilities, earning the trust and respect of managers at each location. My proactive approach and willingness to go above and beyond expectations have been key factors in building positive relationships with colleagues and management alike I've eagerly embraced opportunities for overtime, demonstrating my commitment to supporting the team and ensuring the smooth functioning of operations. Moreover, my reliability and enthusiasm have not gone unnoticed, leading to increased responsibilities and opportunities to step into leadership roles when needed Whether it's acting as a team leader or manager in the absence of higher management, I've been entrusted with guiding and supporting my colleagues, ensuring productivity and cohesion within the team. My tenure at Tesco has not only equipped me with a diverse skill set but has also instilled in me a strong sense of accountability and leadership I am grateful for the experiences and opportunities afforded to me during my time with the company, and I look forward to leveraging these experiences to contribute positively to future endeavours.
