What do you like about your job and the company?
One of the main reasons I wanted to join the army was to be able to travel the world whist getting paid to play. I have performed abroad in places like Ukraine or Germany, as well as all over the UK. However, I haven't just travelled as a musician, I've also been away to complete adventurous training- anything from surfing in Cornwall to scuba-diving in Malta.
Greatest achievements
I pull for the Army Ladies Tug of War team and last year(2023) we were awarded the Army Sports Team of the Year award. This automatically puts us as the Army's nomination for the UK Armed Forces Team of the Year which we also won. This goes to show, that the mental resilience and discipline we get taught as soldiers can be used in all walks of life.

I loved being a Tank Commander, i worked alongside some of the best people in the Army. That community is why i joined the Royal Tank Regiment. I was surrounded by people who i liked and allowed me to be myself. Although i have changed path in the Army i always have my Regimental family to return to. They form the foundation of my new skillset and taught me lessons that make me successful today.
