Peer Mentoring
I am a qualified Peer Mentor after 8 weeks of training in February 2012. This was all monitored by the team leader to ensure everything was done accordingly. Certificate of qualification.

John Muir Award
Kilmarnock College, Access to Environmental Management and East Ayrshire Countryside Ranger Service awarded me with the John Muir Discovery Award. This was in recognition of awareness and responsibility for wild places in January 2013. 
This was due to the work carried out by myself and fellow students, having built a boardwalk through a part of Dean Castle & Country Park to allow people to access different areas of the park which were previously inaccessible.

Volunteer Work
Dean Castle held an open day for the local community to help with volunteer work with the park on 21/04/2013. This included planting cherry, apple and orange trees within a group of 10 people and also clearing the site in preparation for a new pond. Due to lack of staff within the Dean Castle they often have opportunities available to help around the park. This gives a great sense of achievement once the work has been completed and gives me more work experience and team building skills for future projects.


•	Experience in AutoCAD, Microsoft Excell/Word, LSS.
•	CSCS Card (Construction Skills Certification Scheme).

Glasgow Caledonian University has given me the tools to carry out specific experiments due to the nature of the course. BSc Environmental Management and Planning is based around the built environment which can be from Geotechnics, soil sampling, permeability testing, Planning, Law, Legislation, project management as well as calculating statistics to name but a few. Working with Civil Engineers, Building and Quantity Surveyors has allowed me to broaden my knowledge on each of these sectors. Given that I have previous experience within all of the above areas puts me in an advantageous position for any technical role.
I also have a practical and logical mind and a methodical way of thinking along with a creative and innovative approach to problem solving, strong numeracy and financial management skills. Furthermore I have the ability to write clear and precise reports and relate complex information in a simple way to a diverse range of people.
