Paddy O’Riordan Student
Cambridge, UKProfile:
Having secured my place at Manchester University to study Liberal Arts in 2024, I am looking to use my gap year effectively to expand my work and life experiences. My diverse job roles, education, and extracurricular activities have equipped me with the skills to work in a fast-paced and varied work setting, and my enthusiastic and sociable nature would really suit a chalet environment where I could interact with guests of all ages and other members of your hospitality team. I love skiing and would be able to converse easily on the subject as I fulfil my role.
