I worked with SuperCamps Limited in the holiday periods in 2017 and 2018 as a bush craft instructor with management responsibility where I looked after groups of children aged 8 to 12 and interacted with parents and staff of the schools where the courses took place.

Before moving to University I was a pool lifeguard which gave me the opportunity to liaise with pool staff, parents and children.
