Enthusiastic and eager to learn new skills. Collaborates well on group projects and prepares diligently for assignments. Have had a number of challenging but enjoyable experiences which have included volunteering in Ecuador, completing my Duke of Edinburgh Award and being part of the Combined Cadet Force. I'm now volunteering on a Plane build at RAF Cosford, learning new skills and working with RAF professionals. I am constantly challenging myself with new experiences and am able to learn new skills quickly. I am currently seeking part time or full time employment.
