Hello, I’m

Amelie Baxter

I learn by doing. Here’s some of what I’ve done so far, and what I get up to in my leisure time.

About me

A bit about me

I’ve just finished my A-levels at Invicta Grammar School, and I’m looking for my first proper role in a business. I want somewhere I can contribute from the start and learn from people with more experience than me.

I’m most interested in operations, projects, digital and technology, especially how businesses use data and AI to work better. I’m open to a degree apprenticeship or to studying alongside work.

A summer at Camp Pontiac

Lifeguard, Sailing Instructor & Bunk Counsellor · New York, USA · Jun–Aug 2026

Three months in a new country, lifeguarding at the pool and waterfront and teaching sailing to every age group, from first-timers to confident sailors.

I was also counsellor for a bunk of 14-year-old girls, which meant being the person they came to for everything.

How quickly you learn when people are relying on you.

Inside a small business

Business Admin Assistant · Electroquip, Kent · Aug–Sep 2025

Two months moving between operations, purchasing, finance and marketing. I managed goods in and out, handled customer calls and enquiries, and worked with the marketing team.

Every part of a business depends on the others, so collaborating is key.
