About Me
I'm very much an outside person, and as such I'm very comfortable with almost any form of outdoor activity (bar horse riding due to lack of experience, although the opposite is true for mucking out/tacking). Particular areas of interest include hiking, kayaking, wild swimming, etc.
There are quite a few "background activities" I'm reasonably good at, ranging from embroidery to rope making to cooking. My experience as a kitchen porter means that my knife skills are reasonably proficient, in the sense I'm able to prepare food in a convincing professional manner (think Julia and Julia with onions). The same stands for my experience as a waitress - plate balancing is a skill learnt very quickly on the job.
I've had experience with basic drill, but unfortunately, that's as close to any skill with dance I can make a claim to.
Modelling

Employment History & Experience
My experience in this area is limited to a single shoot organised by a group of art students focusing on the plight of migrants. Not exactly what you'd call professional training.

General Experience
Previous Jobs:
Gamekeeping/Estate management - Through this, I've gained quite the list of animals I've had had experience with just... not as an actor. Working dogs, horses, cattle, etc. (note: while I can lead, tackle, and muck out a horse, I haven't ridden in some time so it would be best to assume I won't be capable of anything more complex than a canter over long periods of time)
Waitress - Plate balancing
Kitchen porter - "Knife skills" - think onions from Julia and Julia
Qualifications & Training
Various First Aid qualifications

Interests & Hobbies
It would be a challenge to find an outdoor activity I'm uncomfortable with, although I'm yet to attempt skydiving and can claim no skill in climbing.
Miscellaneous Information
I have plenty of experience with children as a teaching assistant, although I am uncertain of how well this would transfer to acting.
