Experience

• 

  Ashford School

  Aug 2015 - Jul 2016

  Performance (Field) Hockey Coach

  I was recruited to deliver performance-level coaching to all pupils between the ages of 11-18. The majority of my coaching hours was spent working cohesively with the older athletes of the boys and girls top teams (1XI). We went on to compete valiantly in national competitions for both indoor and outdoor events, and came away with multiple trophies across all age groups throughout the year. The year spent at Ashford was a rewarding one and I thank both the staff and the students for their efforts. Show less

  Furley Park Primary School

  Sept 2015 - Jul 2016

  Sports Coordinator

  The role of Sports Coordinator required me to work efficiently with my colleague to create and deliver High Quality Physical Education lessons to all ages between 4-11. I also had to deliver extra-curricular activities to develop teams for inter-school competitions. We were highly successful in our regional competitions, winning many Kent School Games events in multiple age groups. My time spent at Furley Park has been fundamental to my journey as a coach and educator.

  Camp Winadu

  May 2018 - Aug 2018

  Camp Counselor

  Two summers spent educating children in multiple sports while emphasising what it means to be a good person and friend to those around you. Being a camp counsellor was an intense, but, highly rewarding job. I am glad to have spent two brilliant summers working with some amazing colleagues and teaching some brilliant young minds.
