Affiliations
I am passionate about golf and play regularly, maintaining a low handicap of 3. The competitive nature of the sport drives me to continuously improve, and during the golf season, I reached the Junior Championship Final. As a junior player, I was honoured to be selected for the Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club Senior League Team, competing at a higher level alongside experienced players. Additionally, I have had the privilege of representing the South of Scotland at a regional level, further developing my skills and experience in the sport.
I have been passionate about aviation since childhood, regularly receiving flying vouchers for my birthday and Christmas. In September 2024, I undertook a week-long training program at Leading Edge, based at Glasgow International Airport. This invaluable experience provided me with a foundational understanding of flying, the dedication required to become a pilot, and the discipline needed throughout training. During the week, I successfully completed 12 hours of flight time, further strengthening my skills and deepening my enthusiasm for aviation.
