Experience
June 2019 – August 2019 – Barman/Barista/Waiter at Big Society
Whilst living in Oxford I worked at Big Society, a busy cocktail bar in Cowley. This job saw me learning and making cocktails by heart, working busy late-night shifts and serving food and coffee during the day shifts. I also helped close down and clean the bar after every shift.
Social Media and Communications Manager - Mic Magazine - Sept 2016 to May 2018
During my time at University I was a member of the committee for the monthly music magazine. This role saw me organising events for the society and running and organising all of their social media pages. I would contact other societies or members of the public to organise meetings alongside keeping Facebook, Twitter and Instagram up to date with all the latest news.
May 2018 – September 2018, August 2019- Sept 2019 - Barman/Waiter at the Lion Inn
Over the summer of 2018 I ran the bar at the Lion Inn, serving as a barman during the busy evening shifts and as a waiter during the lunch hours. My tasks saw me oversee other members of staff upon occasion, both opening and closing the bars and making sure things ran smoothly.
October 2016 – April 2017 – STAR Volunteer (Student Action for Refugees)
During the year at university I volunteered every Tuesday evening teaching English to refugees from various countries around the world.
Volunteer at Tutshill Primary School May 2017 - July 2017
Volunteer helping teach music to a reception class for 2 hours every Wednesday at Tutshill Primary School.

January – April 2013 – Part-time volunteer at British Red Cross Shop
Working once a week in a busy charity shop. My duties included assisting customers with any queries and organizing stock ready for sale.
Interests
Outside of my academic studies I am very interested in music and play both the piano and guitar and will soon be taking my grade 7 in guitar. I am currently working towards my Grade 5 piano and hope to take the exam in the near future. Recently I have been employed to perform at a variety of events as a singer/guitarist, which has been both enjoyable and successful. I also was a host of a radio show at URN (University Radio Nottingham) hosting the Indie hour on Tuesday evenings.
