Summary
I demonstrated my keen spirit at Budmouth Academy throughout my classes. I got above secure grades in all my classes. I have worked in the construction industry for over 5 years now, with 2 years experience specialising in carpentry.
In my spare time, I volunteer as a cardiac first responder. This entails responding to cardiac arrest 999 calls within a 2 mile distance when paged, which supports the local ambulance service when they are busy or I am simply closer to the incident.
I also have a first aid at work qualification, IPAF qualification and I am close to completing my L3 Carpentry NVQ.
