Summary

I am an empathetic and enthusiastic people person, with strong customer service and communication skills. My background as a swim instructor, residential adviser, and radiology assistant has equipped me with the ability to support people of all ages, build their confidence, and create positive experiences. I have had experience fundraising for the I Am Hope mental health charity, which has allowed me to support youth with their mental health through personal support and advocacy.
