Having spent 26 years in the Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers in the British Army as a Vehicle Mechanic, I gained an HNC in Engineering.
My last posting was in Bordon where I was teaching Engineering and gained a Diploma in Education.
When I left the Army in 2011, I started a teaching job for Babcock, teaching the Army Engineering in Bordon.
When the Army moved out in 2015 I started teaching at Alton College (now HSDC Alton) in the Engineering Department.
I currently teach Level 2 and Level 3 Engineering and I am the course leader for Level 2.
