Summary
Enthusiastic student studying at Leeds Beckett University, a member of Rock Climbing Society and Water Polo Society. I enjoy swimming in my free time and outdoor activities with my friends. In recent years, I have liked volunteering at events raising money for local charities and giving back to the community. While working as a Lifeguard for 3 years, I ran children's SEND sessions and was a personable member of the team, who customers could always rely on when help was needed. Throughout my work as a lifeguard, I have learnt to navigate stressful situations calmly and have always been a reliable worker.
