Summary

Hard working, innovative and focused 19 year old student that is currently attending the University Of Galway. I am looking for an employment opportunity to gain more work experience in order to broaden my knowledge and enhance my existing skills, as well as learning new ones. I am very approachable and work very hard as part of a team. I have shown this with my dedication in my previous work experiences but also, gained invaluable insights from my soccer career in the importance of good discipline and commitment in order to achieve my goals. I work excellently as part of a team and was very proud to captain my soccer team, which I believe further helped shape my leadership skills. My future plans are to finish college, do a masters and eventually (with a lot of research and planning) have my own business. If I was successful in working with you, I am excited to be on the right path to eventually achieving this goal. Thank you for the time in considering my application.
