Summary

As an assistant youth leader and Outdoor instructor, I have shown effective communication and problem solving skills to enhance the safety and experience of groups of children and adults. I positively impacted the experience of 2 groups of beaver and cub scouts, as well as instructing children of all ages at Go Ape. At guiding young minds i supported the needs of Youth in a deprived area and developed my empathy and listening skills. I have a background in the automotive industry and am skilled in hands-on problem solving and equipment operation.
