Summary

I am an enthusiastic and positive person. I enjoy spending time with friends as well as my grandparents. Both of my Grandads were apprentices and I enjoy talking to them about their jobs as I aspire to follow in their footsteps.

While working at Sea Kayak Salcombe, I received positive feedback from colleagues and customers about my positive contribution to the team culture. I like to keep up with practical hobbies such as fixing cars, altering computer components, and mountain biking.
