Summary

Throughout my career so far I have gained experience in various fields of life. My work at Best-In-Tents has transformed many of my practical skills for the better, and I am eager to transfer them to the next chapter of my career. My experiences have shaped me and my skills: Problem-solving, teamwork, competitiveness, marketing, working under pressure.

Notable Achievements:

Organically grown 2 social media accounts to 40k and 33k followers, publishing videos with comedic value, whilst also utilising social media trends to capitalise on the potential for views and followers. Both accounts have garnered over 54 million views collectively.

Managing the UWE Motorsports Instagram account, with 900+ followers and growing. I provide a great insight into the UWE Motorsports society.

I was a part of a team which launched and promoted a cryptocurrency (Boggy Coin) which reached a peak market capitalisation of $2.1 million, over $600k 24hr volume, and over $100 thousand liquidity. The coin had over 1000 holders at its peak.

I competed in the BUKC and finished 2nd out of 36 after starting in 21st place. It was a short, 9 lap race in wet conditions.

Work history

Marquee Erector

Best-In-Tents Marquees
Faversham, Kent
08.2022 - Current

Best-In-Tents has been a summer job for me since August 2022, I work in a team of roughly 12 people, who travel Kent providing marquees and a variety of events equipment. It is a tough, physical job, with work starting at 8am in the morning, and sometimes finishing as late as 7pm. Throughout my career at Best-In-Tents, I have enhanced my endurance, my ability to work well in a team, and my customer satisfaction techniques (customers often have many queries related to their marquee, as they want their wedding, birthday, funeral wake etc. to be perfect). Work at Best-In-Tents has also been perfect hands-on experience, as any problems I encounter must be dealt with almost immediately.

My practical skills include: a basic understanding and practical application of car and go kart mechanics, and I enjoy performing work on my car and go kart, as opposed to taking them to a mechanic, however some tasks do prove too difficult
