    • Undergraduate Ambassador
      • Jan 2018 - Mar 2018

      A minimum of 34 hours' work experience over three months in Oasis Academy Secondary School, as part of a 3rd year module 'GEOG3039 - Ambassadors Scheme'. This involved observing a specific Year 11 geography class, assisting the teacher with lessons and teaching resources - creating new resources that have since been incorporated into another school's curriculum. Another role I undertook was as a supervisor on a field-trip to Swanage (Dorset), focusing on the impacts of tourism in an urban coastal area, teaching human geography fieldwork techniques. I also used the Year 11 self-audit of knowledge on quantitative fieldwork methodologies to develop a tailored lesson plan aimed at targeting areas of weakness, which I then taught to the class I had been observing.

    • Summer Camp Counselor
      • Jun 2016 - Aug 2016

      I worked as a camp counselor, working closely with my co-counselor to supervise as group of around 11 children at a time in day-time activities, mealtimes and evening entertainment, ensuring their well-being and enjoyment of the camp experience. I often kept the children entertained through spontaneous group singing and maintained high energy and effort levels consistently throughout the summer. In this role I was part of the younger girls unit and reported to a chief counselor. I built upon my teamwork and communication skills in this role through managing large groups of children and was responsible for the children's medical bags at all times. I was trained in basic first aid and safeguarding as part of initial training to be a camp counselor. I was chosen by senior leadership staff as the 'Top Female Staff Member' for the first season of camp. I was voted by my colleagues at the end of the Summer as the 'Female Rookie' of the year.

      • Oct 2015 - Jun 2016

      I sat on the Student Staff Liason Committee where I listened to lecture feedback on modules. I was a liaison between the first year students and the lecturers and directors of year. I effectively communicated issues in a clear coherent manner to the senior academics. Sitting on the meetings enabled insight into the path of progress and change within a university course. From this I saw how the changes discussed in the meeting affected the first years that arrived in Sept 2016 from our discussions in the previous academic year. Show less
