Dublin
Summary
I've been a Community Development Officer in the sport of Boxing for 14 years, and previously, a primary schoolteacher for 5 years; whilst, simultaneously, competing worldwide as a professional athlete. I'm a determined professional remaining calm under pressure, and am currently interested in taking on new challenges. I believe with my wide-range of experiences, I would adapt well to most situations and roles, whether relaxed or under pressure. I am adaptable and possess exceptional interpersonal skills. I am also adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.
