      Teaching and Student Ambassador

      I represented Bath University and the Health Department in a variety of roles to promote the Uni and it’s courses. This has involved me needing to be enthusiastic and professional as I deliver talks, tours, help lead camps, organise large groups and have to respond spontaneously in different circumstances. I have also won an award for how I lead on camps whilst striking a successful rapport with those I have worked with.

      Sports Ministry Intern

      This internship comprised an opportunity to support PSALMS in developing their Sports Ministry and to deliver faith-based youth work mostly through sport. It entailed planning events and delivering sports ministry whilst considering the broader context/situation to develop sports use for ministry. I developed skills and learnt lots around leadership, working in partnership with churches and recruiting volunteers, whilst gaining skills in youth work itself.
