Outline

My goal is to work in environmental conservation as a ranger or in arboriculture as a chainsaw operator.   I'm currently working as a trainee ranger for Devon Wildlife Trust in Devon, UK, on a scheme called 'Wild Paths' which is funded by the Lottery Heritage Fund. 

I'm a hard-worker, with stamina and resilience, who finds satisfaction in a job well done. I learn new skills very quickly and I always try to see things from a level-headed perspective.

I have a positive, friendly and optimistic attitude, I’m confident and outgoing with very good communication skills and I’m often described as patient, hard-working and sociable.
