What do you like about your job and the company?
In my current position, I love supporting Headquarters, as this allows me to use my skills and knowledge that I have built up after a few years in this job. This also gives me the opportunity to help teach newer soldiers on our process and procedures, as well as different types of kit we might use. With the Corps Engagement Team, I like how independent the team is, and how well we help plan and run different events.
Greatest achievements
In 2022, I was given the opportunity to represent my Regiment, Corps and the Army on the international sports stage. I was part of the flag team during the medal ceremonies at Alexander Stadium, I am immensely proud of this as it was my first time away from my home unit, and it allowed me to develop into a better soldier, being able to work in a small team of people I had only just met.

I have served 16 years in the Army now. I have lots of experience gained though courses, exercises, operations and life. But, there is always something new. Something I've never done before. A new system, weapon, theory or problem. You can always learn something new, or improve something old. Don't be afraid to ask for help and always seek feed back. But remember feedback will not always be positive.

The Army provides a whole host of challenges at every level, but it also provides you with the tools to rise to those challenges, and if you so choose, surpass them. The training that the Army provides allows you to find your true and best self, to push yourself and test yourself - work out what you want to achieve, then use your new found skills to achieve even more!

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'.
