• My degree although specialist centered around broad, highly-numerate engineering initiatives within the boundaries of a sporting context.

I am a 2008 graduate with an honours degree in Sports Technology from Liverpool John Moores University and will be available to start work immediately. My degree although specialist centered around broad, highly-numerate engineering initiatives within the boundaries of a sporting context.   I am a hardworking, diligent and personable individual who is keen to begin a career within the rail safety and standards organisation. It is my ambition to gain industry standard qualifications to better my career.   As a graduate I have taken the opportunity to sample different industries to try and develop a wider skill set that will help to make me a more rounded professional and individual. My various work experiences have provided me with concrete skills in the areas of administration, time management, communication, attention to detail, meeting deadlines and flexibility.  My most recent work experience as an operational risk analyst for the healthcare commission made me a more rounded candidate. This work experience gave me the opportunity to learn and experience various aspects of the organisation and interact with associate organisations through risk summits.   My academic and extra curricular activities have given me strong leadership and communication skills. In addition to academic work, I enhanced my personal experience during the summer months in an American summer camp, where I coached and mentored for 7 weeks. Whilst there, I was exposed to a completely different culture and participated in a number of different activities.
