Summary

I am a motivated 22-year-old university student with a great passion for skiing. I will be completing my degree in business and economics in December 2025 and would therefore thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to work as an instructor. I have gained valuable experience working as an instructor at one of the UK’s largest indoor ski centres and would now like to develop my skills further in the mountains. Additionally, my previous experiences in hospitality and construction have equipped me with a strong work ethic and adaptability. I thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments and take pride in delivering excellent customer service while ensuring a high-quality experience.

Personal Information

  • Age: 22
  • I have been skiing in Wengen since the age of three and have always loved the sport. I first learned to ski with Ski Schule Wengen, and later joined the DHO, progressing through both the Coggins and the Eagles. Over the years, I have developed a passion for Wengen and know the resort extremely well. Driven by my enthusiasm for skiing, I completed a six-week ski instructor course with SIA Austria in Argentina. During this time, my skiing improved rapidly, and I gained new technical and teaching skills. I also built strong friendships and enjoyed every aspect of the program. Following completing my instructor exams, I returned to Wengen on multiple occasions, drawn by my familiarity and affection for the resort. I am now a certified ski instructor (Level 1 & 2 Anwärter Ski Instructor), which demonstrates my capability in both skiing and teaching others. I believe I possess many of the qualities that would help me thrive as an instructor: I have a positive, enthusiastic, and motivated outlook, and I enjoy working as part of a team. Beyond skiing, I grew up playing cricket, football, rugby, and tennis, which taught me the value of teamwork, communication, and leadership. During my school years, I was fortunate to excel in sports, which further developed my skills. I am currently studying Business and Economics at Buckingham University, a course I thoroughly enjoy and believe is equipping me with invaluable skills for the future. Additionally, for the remainder of the time I have at Snozone Milton Keynes, I intend to complete a first aid course and a BASI level 1 adaptive course. Overall it would be a pleasure to work with the Ski Schule, I am available from the 16th of December 2025 and would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to work in Wengen
