I have recently graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a 2:1 in Psychology. Alongside completing my degree, I worked as a retail assistant part time, as well as training for the Cheerleading World Championships, which I have now competed at for 4 years in a row. I am a hard working and dedicated individual with strong communication, interpersonal and time management skills, and enjoy working as part of a team, which has been shaped through my experiences in retail and cheerleading.
