I am a second-year Communication and Media student at Swansea University and currently serve as the ScoutsCymru Youth Lead for Wales, as well as a Trustee and Board Member for ScoutsCymru. I am an industrious, motivated, and ambitious individual with a strong foundation in communication, leadership, governance, and youth engagement, alongside a clear and growing passion for a career in public relations. As a confident communicator and supportive collaborator, I have contributed to national-level initiatives, including the first UK Scout Youth Forum, where I supported the delivery of key aspects of the event and championed a bilingual approach to ensure inclusivity for Welsh delegates. My experience at both an operational and strategic level has strengthened my interest in strategic communication, audience engagement, and media relations, and I am actively seeking opportunities to build experience within the public relations sector and further develop my skills for a future career in the industry.

I was a qualified lifeguard with experience working in a busy leisure centre environment, responsible for ensuring the safety and wellbeing of all pool users. I was trained in surveillance, risk assessment, and emergency response, and handled high-pressure situations calmly and effectively. Alongside maintaining safety standards, I took pride in providing a welcoming and supportive experience for visitors of all ages and abilities. Through this role, I developed strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to stay focused and alert over long periods.
