Joe worked for the Faculty of Engineering as a student ambassador at numerous events, whilst studying for his demanding degree course. He was an exceptional ambassador at several residential summer schools and demonstrated excellent organisational skills, enthusiasm and a passion for inspiring students. He was excellent at relationship building with everyone, including management, parents, peers and students. He was responsible for looking after a group of 10 students during the residential schools and managed to remain professional throughout whilst instilling a great sense of fun and team spirit amongst his group. He was an excellent team player as well as a leader and helped the other ambassadors to work together efficiently. I was hugely impressed with Joe’s professionalism, enthusiasm and positive attitude and can highly recommend him, I strongly believe he will be a very valuable asset to any organisation.
