Hi, I’m
Billy Dobby
Media Manager

Summary
I am a highly skilled sportsman with extensive experience in sport coaching and adventure sports. I demonstrate proficiency in first aid, CPR, and AED usage, ensuring safety in all activities and can adapt this knowledge for different terrain and situations. I enjoy facilitating physical activity among both inexperienced and experienced individuals as I look to enhance people's ability in sports. I have an advanced knowledge of safety in high pressure situations. My terrain navigation skills facilitate the safety of others. My ability to remain calm under pressure allows me to work well with a group and to communicate with both younger and older individuals this is due to my conformability with public speaking, originating from my experience of studying Drama at an A-Level.
