After completing my GCSEs in 2019, I continued my education at St Brendan’s Sixth Form College before progressing to the University of the West of England, where I successfully completed a degree in Paramedic Science. Prior to this, I also undertook a year of Biomedical Science, which strengthened my understanding of human biology, clinical principles, and critical analysis. Alongside my studies, I gained valuable work experience in both retail and healthcare settings. I worked as a Customer Service Assistant and later as a Supervisor at Sainsbury’s, where I developed strong communication, leadership, and organisational skills in a fast-paced environment, as well as a deep appreciation.
