Meet Alice
Alice has been an invaluable member of our team, contributing her skills and enthusiasm since she began her placement with us from school back in September.
As we celebrate #iwill Week, we took the opportunity to sit down with Alice and delve deeper into her experiences, exploring what drives her passion for making a difference, the meaningful contributions she has made during her time with us, and the significance of this opportunity in shaping her personal and professional journey.
This is what she shared:
Q: Hello Alice! Tell us a little about yourself.
A: Hi, I’m Alice, I’m 15 years old. I attend Ysgol Y Strade. I like to game and cook. My favourite thing to cook is steak and chips but my favourite food is bacon! I want to be a chef in the future and really want to learn how to make homemade pasta.
