Owen Shaw

I am highly skilled with a broad understanding of electrical circuits and proficiency in using simulation software. I constantly demonstrate exceptional time management and the ability to work efficiently at a high standard, both independently and as part of a team. I'm known for adaptability, quick learning, and the capability to manage physically demanding tasks. I'm also committed to following instructions and advice, but prefer a hands-on approach.

• Army Cadet Force- I enjoy being apart of the cadets since as a Lance Corporal it allows me to be a role model and demonstrate my best qualities to inspire others, it has also taught me many critical skills that i can use daily such as: First Aid- this has taught me in depth, symptoms/signs for different medical emergencies and how to deal with them. Map Reading- I can use a map to navigate and find a specific location using different points of interest or with a six figure grid reference. Cadets has also taught me self-discipline and team building/social skills.
• Reading- I enjoy reading books in my free time, i don't read fiction books as i prefer to learn about something as i read to expand my general knowledge and understanding of topics.
• Model Kits- I like learning how things work, so i have built a few robot model kits that require me to make circuits, linking wires to the right components and then coding the robot to work as i intend it to, and also fix any mistakes.
• Gym- I go to the gym roughly 6 days a week which allows me to stay fit/strong, i also go on runs that range from 5km to 10km. All this allows me to keep busy and stay fit.

Through cadets i was appointed to be the ACF poppy wreath barer at the remembrance Sunday parade in 2024, this was a big accomplishment and a big responsibility, i felt honoured to participate in such a meaningful event.

I completed a rookie lifeguarding course which taught me many crucial skills on how to deal with a number of events that can occur in the water, such as the procedures for many different medical emergencies and how to perform first aid, after repeating these procedures many times i now know how to identify and react to these emergencies.

Bronze Duke of Edinburgh-

I am currently taking part in my bronze DofE award, this requires me to learn a new skill for 1 hour each week for 3 months, volunteer for 1 hour each week for 3 months and run for an hour each week for 6 months, i currently only have a couple months left before i earn the award. So far this has taught me to stay disciplined, have an open mind to learning new things, always stay positive and try to help people around you.

13 Bridges Charity Walk-

I will be participating in this event on the weekend of the 27th-29th of June to raise money for the ssafa armed forces charity, i have currently raised a total of £113 through a couple of fundraising techniques and i plan to keep on getting donations.
