Favourite part of my job

I just love the fact that no day is ever the same. You can’t put a price on serving the community you grew up in.

Hobbies and interests

I enjoy socialising with my friends and family, and in the last two years I have taken up running. I’m not particularly good at it but least I try! I also love snowboarding but just don’t have the time to do it as much as I’d like to.

Interesting Fact

I love tattoos and my right arm is covered in super heroes! I have two brothers and two sisters, my youngest brother has down syndrome and he thinks I'm the biggest hero for what I do, but really it's him who is my biggest inspiration - no matter what he's always got a smile on his face.

Quote

I'm water rescue level 2 trained and have just completed my Breathing Apparatus (BA) instructor course, one of the best things about being in the fire service is that there's always something to learn.
