I am currently a 5th-year student at St Finian’s College, Mullingar, with a strong interest in personal development both academically and physically. Alongside my studies, I regularly attend the gym . I previously trained in boxing and am motivated to return to the sport, demonstrating resilience, discipline, and commitment to self-improvement. Balancing education with physical training has helped shape a determined mindset, strong time management skills, and a positive attitude toward challenges and long-term goals.
I completed work experience volunteering at a local community event, where I supported traffic management and assisted with event coordination. My responsibilities included directing vehicles safely, communicating clearly with attendees, and helping to maintain an organised and secure environment. I also sold raffle tickets, which developed my confidence in public interaction, cash handling, and customer service. This experience strengthened my teamwork, responsibility, and ability to remain calm and professional in a busy, fast-paced setting.
I gained hands-on work experience as a builder’s assistant on family land, where I supported the construction of a residential property. My duties included site cleaning, carrying and organising building materials, and assisting with general construction tasks. I also gained introductory experience with scaffolding under supervision, following safety procedures at all times. This role developed my strong work ethic, physical stamina, attention to safety, and ability to work effectively as part of a team in a practical, demanding environment.
I completed work experience at a local youth centre, where I assisted with kitchen support duties and general day-to-day tasks. I undertook a basic barista course, gaining introductory skills in coffee preparation, hygiene, and customer service. I also participated in practical learning activities, including basic bricklaying, where I followed instructions and safety guidelines. This experience helped me develop practical skills, teamwork, time management, and the ability to adapt to different responsibilities in a community-focused environment.
I bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and a positive attitude to the workplace, developed through hands-on experience in construction, community volunteering, and hospitality environments I work well as part of a team, communicate clearly with others, and can adapt quickly to new tasks and responsibilities My experience has helped me build practical skills, leadership, and confidence when dealing with people, while also maintaining a good awareness of safety and organisation Areas I am continuing to improve include gaining more formal work experience, strengthening my technical and financial knowledge, and developing greater confidence in high-pressure or unfamiliar situations, which I am motivated to improve through learning and practice
