I have been in Scouting since I was a Beaver at the 13th Wimbledon Scout Group in Wimbledon and Wandle District. I stayed with the 13th for Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and then became an Explorer with the Group’s partner unit St Saviour’s ESU. Alongside this I helped our cub pack from age 13 all the way through to the end of my time in Explorers, where I then became an Assistant Explorer Scout Leader. I currently also hold roles as a District Trainer, Assistant Cub Scout Leader and Co-Media Development Manager in Wimbledon and Wandle. Throughout my time as an Explorer, I went on two international trips to Austria, organised and ran a District Cub Hike and won Red Flare twice!

As an adult leader I have continued to take part in competition hikes and took part in the Southern 50 in 2020. Alongside, this I am working towards a T2 Summer hillwalking permit.

Outside of Scouting, I am currently working for Rolls-Royce as an Engineering Degree Apprentice studying for a BEng in Aerospace Engineering. Apart from Scouting my hobbies include hiking/hillwalking and going to the gym.
