Personal Statement 

I am a conscientious, hardworking and reliable individual, who has always tried to excel in everything I undertake. As a competitive athlete, I have excellent organisational skills needed to manage my training alongside my work commitments as a service technician.  I have a positive and caring nature, able to communicate with people of all ages thanks to the social side of sport and my work and voluntary experience. I strongly feel that my skills and achievements to date, would be of benefit to your organisation and I would thrive in a working environment that prides itself on professionalism. I am self-disciplined, motivated, with a desire to succeed.

Athletics Coaching 2015 – Present

Although I run competitively for Newham and Essex Beagles in the British Athletics Premier League, I train locally at venues around Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket. I began my athletics career in 2009 training with Newmarket Joggers, a club for all age groups and abilities ranging from aged 5yrs through to 80yrs. I regularly plan and coach sessions, demonstrate drills, advising on running mechanics and techniques for different aged groups which I enjoy.
