Accomplishments

As a previous soldier of 3rd battalion the Royal welsh fusiliers, I was fortunate enough to complete a 6 month tour of duty of Afghanistan, attached to the Mercian Regiment in 2012/2013, Herrick 19.

i believe this has shaped me as a person, built confidence, made it easy for me to get along with others, and able to work to the highest of standards.

I follow instruction easily, and take great pride in any work I carry out.
