  • Description

    Hi I'm Izzy! I'm a maths student and keen kayaker looking for adventures in Europe. I particularly love watersports and am interested in jobs/opportunities anywhere near the coast (or a river!!).

    I'm quite practical and keen to get stuck in with a variety of jobs. I have experience waitressing for a big hotel chain (including making coffees and cocktails, plus serving big groups).

    I'm really sporty and love being outdoors. I have an interest in caring for the environment and am hoping to get a job somewhere in this sector when I graduate!

  • More details about your skills

    I have a range of experience that I have completed alongside my studies (both at school/college and now university).

    I've been working at the Marriott hotel for the last 2 years, where I work in F&B as a waitress/bartender. This has given me alot of experience in working with a team to provide the best possible experience for guests.

    I also have experience volunteering with the national trust and my city's football club. This has been mainly helping/leading activities/training for younger children and helping them get involved.

    Since joining uni I have become a little bit addicted to kayaking and am very interested in both white water kayaking and canoe polo (like water polo in kayaks!). I frequently lead sessions for my club since getting my paddlesport safety and rescue qualification last summer.

  • What else ...

    I'm really excited to get a chance to travel! I haven't been to very many places outside of the UK and would love to experience new culture/food etc. I'm also very interested in places in nature - I'm a very 'outdoorsy' person so anywhere with nice hiking routes/rivers/coast would be my dream!
