Creation of a Novel Business Idea
Jun 2023- Feb 2024
As a site agency worker, I developed a novel business idea to streamline recruitment in the industry. This experience was an opportunity to showcase my creativity, proactivity, and innovative spirit:
· Collaborated with two partners to develop a business plan for an AI-powered recruitment platform aimed at streamlining the hiring of labourers and skilled workers.
· The concept leveraged AI and machine learning to match candidates to local jobs, thereby reducing recruitment costs and allowing for increased worker pay. Other benefits included multilingual accessibility, and centralised documentation.
· Conducted industry research, held bi-weekly development meetings, and consulted finance and marketing professionals to strengthen forecasting and validate feasibility.
· Gained practical experience in problem identification, solution design, and cross-functional collaboration within a commercial context.
Sports and Health
Present
I maintain a very active lifestyle. I have played rugby since the age of 5 and currently play for Blackheath Rugby Club's social team and recently competed against the England Deaf Team. As an avid football supporter, I regularly visit Charlton Athletic and compete in a 5-a-side team. Lastly, I’m a consistent runner, recently completing a half marathon.
Travel
Apr-Aug 2023
At the beginning of 2023 I began travelling South America, going through four countries over four months, including Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and Guatemala. I engaged with the local cultures, visited museums, did the activities that each respective place had to offer. I also challenged myself massively across my journey by battling my fear of heights, but despite this,
canyoned down a 75m waterfall, para-glided and completed an 80m bungee jump.
