Summary
I am a highly competent and professional former British Army soldier with over 7 years of military experience, including service in the UK Special Forces Support Group. I have a proven track record of excellent leadership and analytical thinking skills.
During my time with the Ministry of Defence, I gained a diverse range of experiences through multiple rotations focused on UK and global counter-terrorism efforts, as well as deployments in hostile environments. I also have experience in teaching and mentoring partner forces overseas in the Middle East and other regions, as well as within the UK.
I have collaborated with various foreign agencies, developing strong professional relationships. I have had the opportunity to serve as a team leader on operations in hostile environments. Throughout my career, I have dedicated time to gaining a comprehensive understanding of airspace regulations and Civil Aviation Authority guidelines and regulatory practices and flying unmanned aerial systems within the military.
