Makayla Jackson

I am a reliable and motivated individual with experience in a fast pasted pub environment but also in a calmer yet work filled day. These experiences have strengthened my confidence in working with diverse groups and contributing to inclusive, people-focused environments. I am committed to professionalism and eager to continue developing my skills.

Glass collector and waitress at Robin hood Community pub (2023-09 – 2026-02)

During my three years in this role, I provided consistent and friendly customer services while working in a busy hospitality setting. I took orders, served food and drinks, handled payments with accuracy, and maintained excellent hygiene standards. I collaborated closely with colleagues to ensure smooth service and developed strong communication skills through daily interactions with customers.

As this is a pub, I also learned how to deescalate uncomfortable or even aggressive situations from both sober and drunken customers.

Volunteer at Youth club event fair (2024-05 – 2024-05)

I supported staff in running acticities for young people bey preparing event spaces, supervising sessions and helping maintain a positive and safe atmosphere. The event was free, so I helped the team create charitable events beforehand for the summer fair. During this event, I met Micheal Payne MP, which highlighted the value of community engagement and reinforced my interest to contributing to local initiatives.

Volunteer at Pulp Friction Community Interest Company (2026-04 – 2026-04)

I spent the day assisting a charity that supports learning-disabled and autistic individuals. This experience gave me insight into inclusive practice and strengthened my ability to communicate patiently and respectfully with people who have diverse needs.

Volunteer at Traveleter Atlas Outreach (2026-04 – 2026-04)

I spent a week volunteering in a remote mountain village in Morocco, working closely with local communities and school children. My responsibilities included supporting classroom activities, helping to paint and restore homes for families in need, and assisting at a donkey sanctuary that provided care and protection from rescued and retired working animals. This experience deepened my cultural awareness, strengthened my adaptability, and demonstrated my community work in challenging environments.

Volunteer at Inspire gymnastics academy (2026-06 – 2026-06)

I spent several days assisting coaches, working with children and hosting a birthday party. This experience improved my communication skills towards different age ranges. Hosting the birthday party helped me learn the importance of time management in order to fit activities in a set time frame, while also keeping a positive energy to both parents and children.
