My tenure at Aspire Active Education Group was instrumental in providing me with a supportive environment to hone my skills and transition between pivotal phases of my career journey. Initially joining before my stint with Carnival Cruise Ships and returning for a period afterward while launching Amplo Sports, I am grateful for the opportunity it afforded me. During my time at Aspire, I was able to refine my expertise and earn supplementary income as I readjusted to life on land after the dynamic experience of working aboard cruise ships. This period allowed me to practice and strengthen my skills while laying the groundwork for Amplo Sports, marking a significant chapter in my professional growth and entrepreneurial journey.

My time at Carnival Cruise Lines as Sports Staff was nothing short of exhilarating. Responsible for overseeing two of the ship's standout attractions—the Bolt ‘Ultimate Sea Coaster’ and the Ropes Course for children and adults—I thrived in the fast-paced environment of onboard entertainment. Balancing the operation of these attractions with organizing sports and games competitions for guests throughout the day and into the night was both challenging and immensely rewarding. I was able to transfer my skills from PE delivery and push my boundaries of social interaction. It was a unique experience that allowed me to interact with people from all walks of life while providing unforgettable moments of fun and excitement. Serving in this capacity was a refreshing break before embarking on my journey into self-employment, and I am grateful for the skills and memories gained during my time with Carnival Cruise Lines.

During my tenure at Crown Meadow First School, I had the privilege of serving as the PE lead, responsible for overseeing all aspects of physical education and administration within the school community. Over the span of two years, I dedicated myself to ensuring the seamless operation of PE programs, from curriculum development to coordinating sports events and managing resources. My role involved not only fostering a love for physical activity among students but also collaborating with fellow educators to integrate PE into the broader educational experience. It was a rewarding experience that honed my leadership and organizational skills, and I am grateful for the opportunity to have contributed to the holistic development of our students.
