Personal Profile

I would describe myself as very motivated, hardworking and confident. I have family members in the merchant navy. Hearing stories of their experience and the quote “70% of the world is ocean, so if you rule the ocean you rule the world” at sea made me interested in going to sea.I did research and decided it would be the best career path for me so I joined Sea Cadets to gain some experience and skills which might help me in my career. I have done many courses at cadets giving me basic skills which may help me along my career path, for example first aid, survival, communication and team leadership and management. Moreover cadets has taught me how to live away from home, look after myself and stand on my own two feet.
