Interests
I enjoy a wide range of sporting activities including water sports, snowboarding, and keeping fit. My work has taken me through Europe and Asia and has enabled me to visit many countries. In 2000 I returned from travelling around the world; a particularly memorable time was sailing in the Whitsundays, Australia. During my time at Rycotewood I was involved with the organisation of the college football team.
Personal Skills
During my time at Rycotewood it was essential to carry out a skills profile. Skills assessed included communication, developing and managing oneself and working with and relating to others; in these I achieved a distinction. As the skills profile suggests, I enjoy working in a team environment.
