Summary

I am a motivated and proactive person with an active interest in the sports industry, specifically football. I have A level qualifications in Design and Technology, Business Studies, and a BTEC Subsidiary in Sport. All of these were achieved in the Summer 2024 and achieved at St Christophers School in Bahrain. I have participated in part time work, such as refereeing for the under 10 BSME Games (British Schools in Middle East) and working in the leisure sector, being a visual jockey (lighting technician) for a bowling lounge. For the refereeing, it was mainly used for the modules for my BTEC Sport, and also helped with experience in that field.
