What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my skills in sports rehabilitation and fitness, while also providing opportunities for growth and learning in a supportive environment.

I am a dedicated and efficient professional with a strong background in sports rehabilitation and fitness instruction. My journey began with a BSc (Hons) in Sports Rehabilitation from London South Bank University, where I honed my skills in developing fitness programs and rehabilitation strategies. I believe that hard work and commitment are the keys to success, and I strive to embody these values in every task I undertake.

Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including vulnerable individuals and minors. My experience as a rehabilitator and gym instructor has equipped me with excellent communication and organizational skills, allowing me to create engaging fitness classes and support clients in their rehabilitation journeys. I am passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills in the field.
