Motivated and Skilled School Leaver with Leadership, Customer Service, and Tactical Experience
A highly dedicated individual with extensive hands-on experience in customer service, leadership, and tactical skills. While academic study has been challenging, I’ve always given 100%, recently earning the "Leadership in Performing Arts" award. Actively involved in my community, I’ve been recognized through Beavers, Cubs, and Scouts, earning the "Cub of the Year" award and both Bronze and Silver Chief Scout Awards. As a Corporal in the Marine Cadets, I developed strong discipline and leadership, winning National Drill in 2022, being named Marine Cadet of the Year in 2023, and placing 4th in the Gibraltar Cup. I now volunteer as a leader, teaching first aid, drill, field craft, seamanship, and sailing.

I’ve gained valuable customer interaction skills working on my family’s farm selling Christmas trees, alongside hands-on farm labor experience. I also have a caring nature, shown by providing respite care for a severely disabled person. My passion for airsoft and weekend survival camping has further developed my tactical skills, including field craft, weapons handling (L98), and both live firing and blank firing drills.

Rugby is another lifelong passion, and I currently play for the senior team at Winscombe Rugby Club. My key skills—resourcefulness, calmness under pressure, rapport building, and tactical expertise—make me well-suited for roles in gun retail, where customer service, attention to detail, and weapons knowledge are essential.
