Summary

I am a driven, sociable and reliable professional who prides himself on hard work. My various employments have developed these characteristics through working closely with others and learning from more senior workers. Specifically, my work with the RNLI has helped me develop both a 'can do' attitude towards tasks and the ability to communicate well under pressure. I have performed well both in and out of education, achieving good grades despite the COVID-19 lockdowns. Since leaving full time education my work ethic and eagerness to learn have repeatedly been recognised by my managers, emphasizing my motivation. Through my work and experiences, I have become a confident, trustworthy and empathetic person.
