I will bring a vast amount of experience, positivity and care to the role. I am hard working, reliable and can cope with change, remaining calm under the pressure of a busy environment.

I am passionate about teaching because, I have been given the time, knowledge and opportunities by my teachers to be able to achieved my ambitions. I work with high standards of responsibility and professionalism learned through working in creative industries.
My competence as a professional was demonstrated when I toured Europe as Bassist with Michael J Sheehy (Beggars Banquet and Glitterhouse Records) in 2009. I began teaching music in 2010 at CCP (County Community Projects) working alongside Malaki Patterson (CCP Musical Youth Manager and Music Producer) helping young musicians to succeed. I was introduced to George Moorey (Music Leader and Director at WIRED in Gloucester) and Matt Booth (Director at Bristol Music Foundation). I was encouraged to grow as a musician, providing workshops at Pittville School, Wychwood 2010, End Of The Road 2010, WIRED Summer Sound 2010 and Cheltenham Music Seminar 2011. In 2010, I worked at Teenage Rampage as Area Coordinator for Gloucestershire identifying, supporting, mentoring and networking young musicians and young people providing genuine links to performance opportunities, professional work and careers. In 2011, I studied with Music Leader at Colston Hall in Bristol. I am a member of Musicians Union, Rock School and Youth Music Network.
