------ About Me ------

I am a graduate from Northumbria University where I studied Computer Networks and Cyber Security Bsc, obtaining a 2:1. Prior to this I was a student at Hartlepool Sixth form college studying BTEC Level 3 Media and BTEC Level 3 IT. Since I can remember I have always been interested in computers and technology which has led me to build my own PCs as well as learn different coding languages such as JavaScript and C++. This has caused me to watch numerous documentaries on ethical hacking and computer networks sparking my interest in working within the ICT industry. In my free time I enjoy gaming with my friends on my PC along with spending time with my friends, family, and dog. I also enjoy going to the ice rink to either skate or play ice hockey, which I was lucky enough to play for the university team. Not only do I enjoy ice hockey, but I am also a rugby fan and have played since I was 15. DIY has also played a major part in my life and this has led me to rebuild a motorbike during summers aways from university.

HeadDoor Supervisor 2020--Current

During my time as a door supervisor i have gained vital experience in customer service and team leading this has lead me to become a head door supervisor. This role requires me to be able to lead a team of door supervisors and ensure that the venue is safe and the customers are happy. This role has also allowed me to develop my communication skills and problem solving abilities.

Door Supervisor 2018--2020

During my break between sixth form and university I did my SIA licence and since I have worked as a door supervisor. This job requires me to be friendly and fast thinking however requires me to ensure I am always professional. Although I have changed firm, I am still managing a door which I have been stationed at for the past 18 months. This has led me to develop a good relationship with the bar staff and clients. Not only has this job allowed me to develop my communication and listening skills but also problem solving. Whilst I have been stationed mainly on one door, I have previously worked other venues as well as being a street warden during the pandemic, providing me vital networking skills.

NCS - National Citizen Service

NCS has played a big part of my life since graduating from the programme myself in 2015. Following graduation, I was asked to be part of the NCS North East Regional Youth Board. This allowed me to voice my opinions on the NCS programme to influence future programme. The highlight of this was not only making a difference to thousands of teenagers lives across the North East by ensuring each programme was the same but also being invited to the house of lord to explain what NCS meant to me, when the NCS bill was being passed through parliament. Volunteering eventually led me to a job within a local delivery partner which allowed me to assist a team leader in the delivery of activities for a group of participants, having an impact on their lives.
