ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE & INTERESTS
Working at Foundry Gym for my work experience and completing my Sport course at college gave me hands-on experience in dealing with all kinds of people. In the gym, I was constantly greeting customers, answering questions, and making sure everyone felt welcome and supported. This helped me build solid communication skills and taught me how to be genuinely helpful on a day-to-day basis. I’m a hard worker who prefers to keep busy, stay active on shift, and always find something useful to do rather than standing around with empty hands. Combined with the group projects and practical tasks from my college course, I learned how to listen to others, share my own ideas, and work reliably with a team to get things done.
