Summary

I am 20 and I am based in St. Davids, where I enjoy living close to the coast. I am eager to grow both personally and professionally. For the past 3 years I have worked in a close team within The Really Wild Emporium and have gained lots of skills. I am keen to try something new and enjoy fresh opportunities. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my friends and travelling with my partner whenever I can, exploring new places and experiences along the way.
