Summary
With countless hours of volunteering for local clubs and events, my academic and sporting achievements are reflected through my positive work ethic.

Competing in the British Universities and Colleges Sport League (BUCS) has helped to build friendships and develop a strong network of support. I am a dedicated professional with expertise in special education techniques and physical education training, adept at utilising positive reinforcement to enhance learning outcomes.
