Holly Mcdade

I hold both the STA Award in Pool Lifeguarding at SQCF Level 6 and STA Award in Emergency First Aid at Work at SCQF Level 6 Through these courses I am fully trained in practical emergency first aid and all lifeguarding practices having completed both practical and theory assessments

I have been a finalist in the COPFS public speaking competition and the Donald Dewar memorial debate competition These valuable experiences gave me an understanding of how to communicate an idea as well as listen to others in a professional setting

I was also a Youth ambassador for Renfrewshire within the West Partnership This lead me to work in a team with other ambassadors locally and around the country to produce and present a project for the aid of refugees in Scotland During the project I spent time in focus groups with refugees from around the world which gave me important experience communicating with different types of people about very delicate topics I am therefore a confident person with skills for communicating with the public

I have attended dance classes in a range of styles for nine years which has allowed me to dedicate myself to improving skills whilst maintaining my personal fitness
