Summary
I am a driven person who enjoys working in a team environment. I am excited to complete a gap year before studying psychology and philosophy at university. I enjoy working with children and helping them to excell in different areas so would like to continue this during my gap year. I also really enjoy being outside and I love skiing so i hope to do a ski season during this year, which I think I would be good for as I am good at working in teams and problem solving.
