Dedicated volunteer with a passion for health and education.
What I'm looking for
I am a recent graduate from St Ninians High School, where I excelled in my GCSEs and A levels, particularly in Psychology, Sociology, and Geography. I am currently taking a gap year to gain experience in various health and medical fields, aiming to expand my knowledge before pursuing university studies in September 2025.
Throughout my gap year, I have engaged in multiple volunteer roles, including coaching at the Douglas Amateur Swimming Club and working at Beehive Kindergarten. These experiences have honed my skills in communication, leadership, and empathy, allowing me to make a positive impact on the lives of children. I am committed to fostering a supportive environment and helping others grow.
