Later, I got into climbing through a friend and it became my passion. From there I instructed at indoor climbing walls, part time while also teaching photography in adult education. While doing general supply teaching in secondary, primary, PRU and SEN schools, I developed my outdoor skills through working at various outdoor centres where I gained further awards in climbing, paddle sport, archery and axe throwing and experience in bushcraft, orienteering, high ropes, coasteering, mountain leadership and gorge walking.
I hope to develop my skills and experience at Trewern Outdoor Centre whilst inspiring a love for the outdoors in young people.
During my time with the Scouts I started to gain qualifications in Caving, Climbing, Hill Walking, Mountain Biking and Paddling. From here I started to work part time at various outdoor centres transferring my skills to school and Duke of Edinburgh groups. I’ve been lucky enough to work and lead trips to Australia, North America and Europe! Each trip was a fantastic opportunity to increase my experience and now really enjoy working full time in the outdoors.
