Creative professional with expertise in coaching and media production.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate and dedicated professional with a diverse background in coaching, customer service, and media production. My experience as a Skills Coach has allowed me to develop and implement training programs that significantly boost the skills and confidence of junior players, leading to improved competition results. I take pride in providing personalized feedback and fostering teamwork, which has been instrumental in creating a supportive environment for growth.
In addition to my coaching experience, I have worked in various roles within the hospitality industry, where I honed my customer service skills and contributed to creating welcoming atmospheres.
