Summary

I am a motivated and dedicated individual with a proven track record of leadership and service within both academic and healthcare settings. As a student representative, I have become adept at advocating for the needs and concerns of peers, fostering collaboration, and driving positive change within educational institutions. This position has further honed my emotional intelligence, communication and problem-solving skills.


Additionally, I have extensive experience as an NHS responder, providing support through communication, patient advice, and community health initiatives. I am proficient in first aid, basic medical assistance, and patient advocacy, with a commitment to ensuring the well-being of individuals and communities. This position has aided me in developing strong logistical and teamwork skills, with the ability to thrive in fast-paced and high-pressure environments.


I seek to leverage my combined experience as a student representative and NHS responder to contribute effectively to healthcare teams and initiatives, making a meaningful impact on patient outcomes and community health.
