OLYMPICS
BUSHCRAFT
HOT AIR BALLOON FLYING
Volunteering over 100 hours of my time in order to be a part of the London 2012 Closing Ceremony has shown my commitment to a job role. I participated in rehearsals in East London over the course of six months. This led to a final performance screened live to over six million British viewers alone in the Queen Elizabeth Stadium alongside acts such as One Direction and Pet Shop Boys.
I have worked in tough, exposed conditions whilst teaching bushcraft skills to children in summer 2014. The role required living for three months in a number of remote forest areas across the UK. I have shown resilience working for long hours and working with a huge range of people. I am seeking an assistant role, which does not limit the opportunity to working in a number of different conditions.
I have been fortunate to learn how to fly a hot air balloon alongside Brian Jones, the record holder for circumnavigating the globe in a Hot Air Balloon. More importantly, I gained skills in forward planning as well as being responsible for navigation, showing that I was capable of holding a position of responsibility and ultimately be part of a one-off experience.
EXPEDITIONS
FLYING
CONTACT
My sense of adventure has led me to undertaking a number of expeditions, including backpacking in Norway, Andorra and the Pyrenees. Whether living in a tent or sleeping under the stars, I have continually shown that I am always open to new experiences and thrive in a team environment.
I have also had experience flying in a single-engine plane, which involved a huge amount of technical knowledge and expertise. My interest in building upon my technical knowledge indicates a strong desire to continue learning and adding to my growing skills.
