Summary

Currently studying A-Levels at college, I am a motivated student with experience as both a lifeguard and swim teacher while pursuing my studies. These jobs have built my confidence in communicating with people, handling pressure, and forming positive relationships with customers and colleagues. Teaching swimming has particularly helped me become flexible, friendly, and comfortable in supporting and encouraging others. I am now eager to develop these skills in a people-focused and professional setting through a career in HR and people culture. I am excited about the chance to join Oak View Group as a People & Culture Apprentice. I hope to continue learning, make a positive contribution to a team, and help create a welcoming and inclusive experience for staff and visitors while growing professionally in the live events industry.
