What do you like about your job and the company?

I love travelling the country and telling people about the AGC and my job role and how it isn't what everyone expects it to be. There are so many opportunities to do: Para Course, Commanders Course, Skill at Arms, Drill Instructor, Adventure Training Instructor courses, and a vast range of career based qualifications

Greatest achievements

Whilst being attached to 'The 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment', I had the opportunity to do the Specialised Infantry Cadre with my Company. I was the only female to pass during that course.

I think its really important in life to put yourself forward for opportunities for personal development and to help you identify what you enjoy doing. It doesn't matter if you try something and it doesn't work out, the most important thing is that you have tried it. My favourite quote is 'Never try, never know'.

There will be opportunities that come your way, which at first may not sound great, however, if you volunteer for those you will be rewarded. I volunteered to go to Kosovo for 6 weeks, in return I was picked to go skiing for a week in Italy, all paid for by the Army. I loved both experiences and have never regretted that decision.

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.
