ABOUT ME

My career in the outdoors started when I attended Scouts where I gained an appreciation and love of the outdoors and the value it brings to learning.

​

I attended Duchy College in Cornwall for 2 years where I started to learn what it means to be an Outdoor Instructor and the amount of work you have to do to make it look easy. From this point, I knew I wanted to have a career in the outdoors.

​

My experiences of working in the outdoor industry have varied from a small activity centre with a capacity of 50, to larger centres that hold 1000s. From working in these different types of centre, I have seen that no matter how large or small the centre is, it is the management of the instructors that shapes the success of the centre.

​

This understanding has influenced the way I work with people. My years working in the industry have not only given me valuable opportunities to work with a wide range of client groups but have also provided opportunities to further my qualifications and understanding of instructing, especially coaching.

​

I continue to develop my technical skills as well as my soft skills through a range of different courses. I have a sound, practical knowledge of several management theories and models which I use regularly with corporate clients to enhance their own personal development.
