I have a real passion for the outdoors. I took up rock climbing at the age of 5 and I have gained a lot of climbing skills and experience since then. Over the last five years I have taken up slack lining and high lining which has meant learning a lot of new rope skills.I have had a number of jobs in the outdoor activity industry and have worked as an instructor in climbing and other sports for several seasons. I’ve really enjoyed this work but I wanted to focus on a job that would use more of my climbing and rope skills.I'm currently training for my PTS certificate.I have recently gained my IRATA Level 1 certificate and was commended on an ‘excellent’ performance by the course assessor. I'm now working a ropes technician for facilities management company and I have close 500 hours experience.I have gained number of qualifications in tree surgery, including NPTC CS38: Award to Climb Trees and Perform Aerial Rescue.I also hold a CSCS Construction Site Operative card (valid until February 2017).I am hard working and enthusiastic. I am used to working outdoors in all weathers and I enjoy working as part of a team. I have had to be very safety conscious in my jobs in the outdoor activity industry and I am also very safety conscious when I’m climbing and high lining.
