My current part-time job is as a Level 2 Swimming Teacher and a SEN swimming teacher at Enfield Swimming Squad. I hold two ASA- accredited Swim England awarded qualifications that were achieved in October 2024 and April 2025. My nationally recognised qualifications have given me the knowledge to be able to execute high-quality swimming lessons with inclusiveness and progression. I have the privilege to be able to teach all swimming strokes such as: front crawl, butterfly , breaststroke and backstroke from stages 1 to 8.I teach ages as young as four upwards to early teenager’s (13). Working with children in a vulnerable setting has given me the knowledge on how to handle children in a vulnerable setting as their lives are in my hands.The most rewarding part of my job, is to be able to save a child’s life by teaching them the basics of water safety and knowing that in the setting I have no control of they will be able to save themselves.

My 50 hours role as Research Assistant for Face and Voice Recognition in a lab in my University gave me the confidence on how to do data handling. In my role as a Research Assistant, the goal of our task was to be able to arrange new face recognition tests for a face stimuli which was conducted into selection and categorisation from ages and gender. The use software and platforms such as Qualtrics and Excel brought my confidence and how to handle data with using an excel spreadsheet to track my progress with the new the face recognition I was processing. Qualtrics made me familiar on how to use to surveys to track the progress of German Federal Bund Police’s test sessions in experiment lab setting. This was conducted with clear and time effective communication with the on site police officers in Germany to coordinate each test session accordingly.
