Summary
I am a motivated student currently pursuing a BA in Interior Design at University Of Gloucester, with a huge passion for the Arts industry. I have completed A-Levels in Photography, English Language, Film Studies and an EPQ in Art Deco Design.
Alongside my studies, I am a Qualified Lifeguard (NPLQ cert.) at Tudor Grange leisure centre, a well known fitness and health centre in Solihull. Whilst working here, I have gained proficiency in First Aid, teamwork, customer service, dealing with high levels of responsibility and constant attentiveness whilst on poolside.
I have also been volunteering as a young leader at my local Brownie Pack in Moseley. I have been doing it for 5 years as a part of my DofE bronze award.
