I am a Rock Climbing Instructor (RCIA) and Mountain Leader (ML) with a passion for all things outdoors. To me, mountains represent an opportunity to learn, be curious, and embark on adventures that you will always remember.
As a PE teacher, I have long advocated for an education system that integrates the values of the outdoors into its curriculum, offering opportunities to all young people, as well as adults and members of the public who wish to try something new.
My journey began as a rugby player, but a concussion at 20 years old ended my playing career. The outdoors became my lifeline, and I am a strong advocate for mental wellbeing. From personal experience, I understand how rewarding, challenging, and liberating being in the outdoors can be.
I earned my Rock Climbing Instructor certification in 2020 and qualified as a Mountain Leader in the summer of 2022, after spending a year exploring mountains both in the UK and abroad during holidays. My goal is to work towards my Mountaineering and Climbing Instructor (MCI) certification while creating amazing memories with clients and friends, and passing on the skills needed for others to enjoy themselves and stay safe outdoors.
I have taught numerous navigation courses across the UK, including Dartmoor, Snowdonia, and Scotland. Additionally, I have led expeditions to Scotland, taught campcraft, and guided clients in scrambling in North Wales. I have also taken numerous clients rock climbing, furthering their skills and confidence in the outdoors.
I have also had the privilege of running the Mountain Training Hill Skills Award and the Rock Skills Introduction Award.
At Nomads Adventure, we endeavour to create a positive learning environment that emphasizes the curiosity, power, and enjoyment of the outdoors. The time we spend in the life outdoors gives back to our soul, and we provide a safe and positive environment to challenge our horizons.
