Sophie Wilson
Bridge Hill,Alexandra
Summary
My name is Sophie Wilson, I have recently moved back home to Alexandra after being in Australia for over a year. I have spent my time on the Gold Coast taking a gap year, learning new skills and taking on new opportunity's. I have gained so much life experience from being away and taking on two new roles that I loved very much. These roles especially as a swimming instructor, taught me to be outgoing, dedicated, engaging and made me more confidant as a person. I am a highly enthusiastic and motivated employee, and I am always wanting to take on new challenges with a desire to assist others especially children.
