- Two summers tattie rouging on farms across Aberdeenshire and Angus
- Practical work on my uncle's farm, including welding, basic repairs and machine maintenance
- Worked as an assistant for a potato treatment fogging operations company, Scot Fog
These roles required reliability and teamwork, which helped develop a strong work ethic and the ability to work effectively with others as well as awareness of simple safety procedures when working with equipment.
