Cari Payne

I am a motivated and hardworking 18-year-old who has recently completed sixth form at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Bro Edern and am looking for a new opportunity to further develop my skills and gain valuable experience. I am fluent in both Welsh and English and pride myself on being reliable, approachable, and able to communicate confidently with people of all ages. I have over two years of experience as a swimming teacher, where I have developed excellent communication, leadership and organisational skills while teaching children of a wide range of ages and abilities in a safe and supportive environment.

Alongside this, I have four years of leadership experience with Girlguiding, planning and leading activities for children aged 4–12, which has strengthened my confidence, problem-solving abilities and teamwork. I have a passion for photography, which has helped me develop creativity, attention to detail and strong organisational skills through both personal projects and my A Level studies. I am enthusiastic, eager to learn and always willing to take on new challenges while contributing positively to any team.
