Date started at MPCT March 2014 Experience

At the age of 16 I was eager to join the Army. Waiting to attend selection I enrolled with The Military Preparation College (MPCT) in Ebbw Vale. The course prepared me massively and I joined the Army in March 2002.

During my career I served with various Regiments ranging from Germany, Northern Ireland and UK. Whilst serving, I completed three tours of Iraq (one of which I received a Joint Commanders Commendation) and one tour of Northern Ireland, before leaving in January 2014.

My hobbies include all kinds of sport but in particular rugby in which I play for Barry Ladies, I am also a keen Crossfitter.

Date started at MPCT June 2013 Experience

Served over 5 years within the Royal Engineers as a combat engineer where I was involved in a variety of construction projects and specialised with bridge building, mine clearance, demolition and Heating and plumbing trade.

"After joining MPCT in June 2013 initially as an ESW instructor, I then took the opportunity to move and teach within the schools section which suited my teaching background. As an instructor I have the opportunity to provide a different qualification towards learners GCSE’s and teach life skills to benefit any career they chose."
