Summary
- Recent A-level graduate with predicted grades of A*AA, preparing to study Neuroscience at university. Alongside my studies, I completed work experience with BP and EDF Energy, run online drum lessons independently, coached Year 7 and 8 pupils in football, and played for Whitton Wanderers for over 10 years, including serving as team captain. These experiences have strengthened my communication, organisation, teamwork and leadership skills, while teaching and coaching have developed my confidence working with people of different ages. I am reliable, quick to learn and looking for a part-time role where I can make a positive contribution as part of a team.
