My background is in Secondary School teaching but over the past few years I have been working full time in outdoor education and development. My Mountain Leader and Orienteering Coaching qualifications allow me to take groups out into the hills, forests and moorlands. I also have an interest in Rescue and Emergency First Aid. As well as holding relevant first aid qualifications, I am a voluntary Community First Responder. When not out orienteering round forests, walking through the hills or climbing mountains, I work as a Club Support Officer for British Orienteering. I am married with two teenage kids who, like me, all love to keep active. It is great being on the Positive Steps Outdoors team, it is always a pleasure getting out and having the time to get alongside people through an amazing shared experience.
