After an average Leaving cert, in St. Olivers Community College, I applied and gained entry to DKIT to study Business Studies Management and Administration. This focused a lot on the management of human resources and also on working in a team environment.

On completing of my degree I travelled to the U.S.A. on a J1 visa and worked with many different nationalities and cultures. I feel that both of these milestones in my life have helped me greatly in my career, both helping me to not only work well in a team at home but also in my dealings with other nationalities while over seas working on missions with the U.N.

Every day in the Defences Forces is different. There is never a mundane day in the Defences Forces. Generally they consist of lectures based on different situations and tactics employed by a soilder, and also training on different weapons and equipment.

The majority of the day is focused towards physical and mental fitness and strength. Each training sessions is geared towards a different aspect of this fitness ranging from: a simple run in training gear to a fully uniformed "battlerun" with equipment which is always both challenging and rewarding.

Leaving Cert. 
Degree in Business Management .

Since joining the Defence Forces I have completed a military drivers course, a .5 weapons course and an I.L.S.W weapons course and an overseas trip to Lebanon.

I find job security a very important feature of my job. Althought I may not make my millions, I will never be unemployed. A large part of my lifestyle revolves around sports and fitness and I feel that my career is perfect for that aspect of my life.

There is also the prospect of promotion within the ranks and with that comes responsibility which I'm looking forward to as a new challenging aspect of my lifestyle. Being overseas can be a difficult aspect of the lifestyle, being away from loved ones for months at a time, however, living so close to my home unit offers me much more time to spend with family and friends.
