I am a conscientious and hard-working individual, capable of working by myself, within or leading a team. I currently work as a Snowboard Instructor at Hemel Hempstead Snow Centre and have been for the past 2 years. I live in West London and in full time education during the week. However, I drive to Hemel every weekend to coach aspiring snowboarders of all ages. Teaching provides great life skills; I find the experience of carrying out professional and effective teaching, extremely satisfying and often come back after a shift amazed that I get paid for something which I enjoy so much. I am thrilled by the experience of working amongst the other talented instructors who all share the same interests as me and I get a great sense of satisfaction in helping others to enjoy the sport I love so much. As an individual I am quite athletic. I love football and have played 1st 11 hockey for the last two years for Kingston Grammar School as a midfielder. I also enjoy more extreme sports. I am a competent freestyle snowboarder, I enjoy surfing, canoeing, sailing and climbing. I have spent several summer holidays mountaineering in the Bernina alps, overnighting in the Italian refugees. So I am no stranger to facing extreme situations. Whether in the mountains or on the water I am always alert to my environment. This has led to passion for wildlife. I have been lucky enough to observe rarely seen species such as lammergeier, marmots, sea eagles and puffins. I enjoy Design and often construct small projects such as modifying a mobility scooter into a jaguar E type and building a half-pipe during lockdown. I am also capable at languages with an A* in French GCSE and a proficiency in the language, as well as a knowledge of Italian. Academically, I achieved 5 A*s at GCSE and B, B, B in my A levels in Biology, Geography and Chemistry. I am looking to study Zoology at Exeter University in Autumn 2021.
