I am a friendly, reliable and hardworking 18-year-old aspiring dental student who has recently completed A-levels and is taking a gap year. I have strong communication and interpersonal skills developed through volunteering at care homes and schools, and working with a variety of people. I am enthusiastic about providing excellent customer service, learning new skills and contributing to a welcoming environment for the customers.
I was volunteering on a weekly basis at Dulwich Village Church of England Infants' School. I volunteered by supporting classroom activities, assisting with reading and literacy exercises, and playing outdoor games with the children. This experience has allowed me to develop important skills such as patience, clear communication.
I volunteered on a weekly basis at the Athol House Care Home for the disabled. I volunteered by talking and playing games with the residents there. This has enabled me to not only make a difference, but to also improve my communication skills.
I shadowed and observed a wide array of different procedures, such as root canals, extractions, fillings, implants. I saw first-hand the importance of communication skills and manual dexterity on a daily basis,
