Work Experience
African Sports Travel (07/07 – 07/09)
I have worked for African Sports Travel for the last two years. My time has been split between working in the London office and physically working with children in South Africa as a volunteer.

Ski Instructor (10/05-04/06)

Jackson and sons 05/06-06/07
I worked at Jackson and sons sports shop as a shop assistant advising customers on the appropriate sports accessories for them. I often stayed after hours to complete admin work and customer research. I was also given the responsibility of sourcing new sports equipment that came on the market.

Personal Interests
I am an extremely active person who loves to be challenged and tested. My sporting abilities have encouraged me to help those less advantaged than I have been and I have therefore spent my recent time working abroad for sports based charities. I am a sociable person and particularly natural at working with children as I am patient and authorative.
