I am an avid climber, mountain biker and skier with a devoted passion for teaching and coaching, in both academic and outdoor fields. I transitioned from a full-time teaching career 7 years ago into the professional outdoor world, after seeing first-hand the impact outdoor learning can have on students. The fundamental building block for all my professional practice, either inside the classroom or on the hillside, is the relationships I can foster with people from diverse backgrounds. Moreover, I’m a fervent believer in expanding access to the outdoors for underrepresented communities through these relationships.
I work out of Glasgow , where I have easy access to both The Highlands and The Lakes, which provide the majority of my freelance opportunities. I hold a range of awards in the outdoor profession which open up a broad spectrum of work which I thoroughly enjoy.
