Accomplishments

    University of Salford Rugby League Chairman:


    The role of chairman has greatly improved my leadership, as well as my ability to manage and efficiently complete important tasks. I must oversee the running of the entire rugby league society. This requires me to responsibly manage the budget allocated to the club and attend regular meetings with the universities sports coordinators to ensure they are briefed on all relevant information which highlights my commitment and ability to maintain routine alongside my studies.



    National Citizens Service Award:


    This award required me to work in a group with new people to produce a social action project that we would deliver in our community. It developed my ability to adapt to new situations and people, working in new environments.



    Duke Of Edinburgh Bronze Award:


    I completed the bronze award, which certainly developed my teamwork to function in a group whilst trying to navigate on expeditions as well as my self-motivation to meet all requirements of the award through volunteering and learning a new skill.
