Summary

I am an 18-year-old student at the University of Bristol studying English and Spanish.

I received two A* and an A in English Literature, Spanish and History A-Levels, the second-highest in my year.

I am hard-working, reliable and able to follow instructions as well as work without supervision.

I have developed strong leadership skills and initiative throughout my extensive experience working with children for years at numerous sporting events and competitions within the London Borough of Waltham Forest.

My determination and dedication are further highlighted by my many achievements, including Outstanding English Student, the highest performer in my school year, Leader of the Year and Performing Arts Awards.

I also have excellent communication and interpersonal skills and I am bilingual (half French).
