Sheneca Smith

I have a strong background in leadership, mentorship, and community service, developed through my roles as a coach, au pair, and active volunteer at my local church. These roles have required a high level of responsibility, discipline, and interpersonal skill, including the supervision and development of young people, coordination of activities and programmes, and consistent engagement with families and community members. Through this experience, I have cultivated excellent communication skills, a strong work ethic, adaptability, and the ability to operate effectively in both structured and service-oriented environments.

Serve at Local Church

(2022-01)

I have learned to interact with different people every week and also study people with different personalities, because in an environment like that, you interact with different people and the way they do things differently from you. So it has taught me patience and has driven me to dig a little bit deeper to know people individually, that they think different and things different then me.
