Date started at MPCT August 2015 Experience

I joined the Army at 17 years of age and spent 6 years serving as an infantry soldier with the Royal Welch Fusiliers completing two tours of duty in Iraq and also completing training exercises in Kenya and Canada.

"Being a staff member at the college allows me to work closely with young individuals and guide them on the 3 things that I am most passionate about. Health/fitness, teaching and military values. Seeing the progression in the learners is extremely rewarding and I feel incredibly proud to have a positive influence on the learners’ journey."

Date started at MPCT August 2011 Experience

I have been in the training sector for the past 11 years and carried out a variety of roles, which have included delivering NVQ’s for Performing Manufacturing Operations, Business Administration, Customer Services and ITQ. I have managed a centre for 16-19 year olds and been responsible for the delivery of Numeracy and Literacy.

"As a Skills Support Manager and being the person responsible for the assessment of Numeracy and Literacy, I thrive on seeing young people reach their potential with Literacy and Numeracy skills. I see confidence grow, not just in an academic way, but also on a personal level. It’s good to see MPCT students’ transform physically through the robust program that is delivered on a daily basis and mentally through the encouragement given by all the MPCT staff. Girls turn into young ladies, whilst boys turn into respectful young men. It also very rewarding to see young peoples’ attitudes change on a personal level, from one having low self-esteem, into one having the attitude that they can achieve almost anything, with hard work, commitment and dedication."
