Luke Steele

Managed garden maintenance while studying at university, gaining practical experience in horticulture. Once graduated I went full-time managing weekly garden maintenance, lawn mowing, hedge trimming and other garden-related jobs. Ensured high standards and attention to detail, enhancing overall appearance and care of customers' gardens.

While I was at University we did work experience as part of our second year studies. I went back to the art department in Lurgan College where I had studied. Spent every Friday for a few months assisting the Art teacher in organising supplies, guiding students in techniques and offering advice on their work.

While I was a student I was involved with a programme in which we as pupils met with other pupils from local schools with learning difficulties. We would pair up and do art projects together and spend time talking and guiding in the other pupils in how to create fun art projects. This gave me opportunities to work on communicating better with people and engaging with others.
