Affiliations
- In addition to my experience as a waiter, I have also worked as part of a team whilst playing rugby for my school. I have also been a part time carer for my younger brother who suffers from numerous physical and mental disabilities, this has taught me to be responsible for others and I am very comfortable with taking on more responsibilities.
