Summary

Proactive and motivated individual seeking to build on my mechanical knowledge and go beyond basic course material to gain hands-on experience. Eager to take on new challenges and learn more from a mechanical team, whilst offering strong knowledge of transmission systems. I am a highly-motivated young individual looking to move forward and progress in the industry of motorsport. I have a background of family members that have raced in the past including my dad and myself allowing me to have first-hand experience of working on race cars in the garage and trackside at race meetings. I have helped to run a Ginetta GT55 GT4 during a Britcar car race alongside Team Hard Racing. I also hold a full UK drivers licence so travelling will not be an issue.
