When I was 10 years old, I moved to France and lived there for 3 years before returning to the UK. From there I continued developing my French. Years later I gain a apprenticeship in the building trade at Cornwall College, once completed I received my NVQ level 2 in building whilst continuing on the building trade until I was 24 years old and join the Army. From there whilst in the Army I have developed leadership skills and my driving qualifications such as my Cat C and CE (articulated lorry driving licence). Also, whilst in the Army I have developed my French and have translated (not certified) for my Squadron whilst working with French troops. Recently I am a Percy Hobart Fellow, ran by PUBLIC. This course within the defence shows how innovation can be done in a number of ways and across the tri-service.
