After four years broking, I took a career breakbetween 2017 - 2020 spending two summers working at a children's summer camp in New Hampshire, America and three winters working as a resport respresentivite in various ski resorts across Europe. This was a life changing experience which also strenghtned my ability to adapt to new situations, build strong relationships with collegues and solve problems in a challenging customer facing environment.
