Driving skip wagons in the U.K. The role also involved emptying skips and general laboring jobs around the yard. I enjoyed direct contact with the client and dealing with customers. I always maintained a professional manner and received excellent feedback for my attention to detail and ability to motivate others.

This involved me engaging in two Operational Tours, one of Afghanistan and one of Northern IrelandI served in the Parachute Regiment, an elite unit that requires a high level of physical fitness and discipline.Being a member of the Parachute Regiment, the specialist training that was provided equipped me with the skills to ensure that I am capable of making good decisions in difficult situations.
