Summary

As a chef I learned how to apply my skills working in a team environment, working under intsense pressure and carring myself well in regards to time constraints.

As a skate coach I was subject to children of various ages and differing skill levels, so i had to tailor my teaching for the individual's. Learning how to communicate and adapt to their needs whilst keeping them engaged.

Work history

Skate coach

Campus Pool Skatepark
Bristol, England
11.2024 - 06.2025
  • Whilest working with children ranged from around 4 to 10 I understood how to apply my skate knowledge to their individual skill sets.
  • Talking to children as individuals and treating them with respect was infinitly more rewarding for their progression and for their willingness to communicate with someone older.
  • Whilest skating is more of an individual and creative sport you still have to keep a keen eye on the individual to make sure no injury's are sustained.

Chef, Bella Italia

Big Table Group
Bristol, England

  • At Bella Italia for a majority of the time I worked there I was openeing the kitchen, running the daytime service and closing the kitchen. Often with only one other person in the kitchen that would come in halfway through the day.
  • Due to missmanagment I would be the primary reason for the kitchen being in service at all.
  • Due to this experience essentially running a kitchen by myself I know i can successfully work under intense pressure and still have a decent working result.
