Description
I'm passionate about exploring the world through both books and outdoor adventures. My love for animals makes pet sitting a joy rather than a task, and I find running to be both meditative and energising. What truly motivates me is forging connections with new people and learning about different perspectives. I believe that genuine happiness comes from a balance of quiet moments with a good book and lively conversations with newfound friends!

English: FluentMore details about my language interests
While my CV doesn't specifically mention language teaching or learning experience, my current studies in English Literature and my interest in creative expression through poetry demonstrate my passion for language and communication. My experience as a Prison Officer required clear communication with diverse individuals, often in challenging circumstances. Similarly, my retail and hospitality roles involved explaining procedures and training colleagues effectively. Though I haven't formally taught languages before, my experience training new staff at Ralph Lauren shows my ability to break down information and present it in accessible ways—skills that transfer well to language teaching. As a university student studying literature, I'm constantly engaged with the nuances of language and would be open to sharing my knowledge of English with others. I'm also interested in expanding my own horizons by learning new languages, which would complement my existing interests in literature and international cultures. My background in working with diverse groups of people across various sectors has taught me patience and adaptability—valuable qualities for both learning and teaching languages in an immersive cultural exchange environment.

More details about your skills
With my diverse background spanning the prison service, hospitality, retail management, and manual labour, I bring a versatile skill set that would be valuable in various host settings.
My most recent experience as a Prison Officer developed my ability to communicate effectively with challenging individuals, de-escalate tense situations, and maintain calm under pressure. These interpersonal skills translate well to any environment requiring patience and emotional intelligence.
Previously, as a Gym Instructor, I led circuit training classes and conducted inductions, demonstrating my capacity to instruct others clearly and motivate people toward their goals. My fitness background as a long-distance runner and kickboxing practitioner means I'm physically capable and enjoy active work.
In my role at Ralph Lauren, I managed teams of up to eight staff, particularly during high-pressure periods, showing my leadership abilities and attention to detail. I'm comfortable handling administrative responsibilities and have experience training colleagues in various systems and procedures.
My early work experience in construction with C&K Builders gave me practical knowledge of renovation and building techniques. I worked effectively alongside skilled tradespeople and developed an understanding of completing projects safely and to high standards.
Beyond professional skills, I have creative interests in literature and poetry—I'm currently pursuing an English Literature degree and participate in poetry open mic events. This creative side complements my practical abilities and would allow me to contribute thoughtfully to projects requiring both physical work and creative input.
Having worked in team environments across different sectors, I adapt quickly to new situations and collaborate well with others from diverse backgrounds. I value clear communication and take pride in completing tasks thoroughly and responsibly.

What else ...
As mentioned, I'm passionate about sports and physical activities. Beyond the long-distance running and kickboxing training I highlighted, I'm also an avid football fan who enjoys attending matches with friends and family.
My interest in cinema wasn't elaborated on, but I'm a regular moviegoer who appreciates film as an art form and entertainment medium. This complements my literary interests and current English Literature studies at Plymouth University.
Poetry is another significant interest of mine—I not only write but also participate in open mic events, showing my comfort with public speaking and creative expression.
While not explicitly mentioned, my previous work experiences across diverse environments—from retail to corrections to hospitality—have helped me develop adaptability and people skills that enhance my social interactions. These experiences have given me an appreciation for meeting people from different walks of life and learning about their perspectives.
My educational background also shows a willingness to continue learning and developing new skills, which extends to my personal interests as well. I'm always open to new experiences and challenges that might expand my horizons.
