## Experience

- Trustee @ Neighbourhood Watch Network [Volunteer position] (2026-06 – today): I assist the CEO in deciding the desired direction of the charity.
- Media Marketing @ Crimestoppers Trust [Volunteer position] (2026-04 – today): In early 2026, I visited its London HQ for call centre monitoring. In 2026-06, I operated a stall, for two days, at the 2026 Royal Norfolk Show, within Norfolk Constabulary's stall.
- Emergency Responder @ St John Ambulance [Internship] (2026-04 – today)
- Co-Opted Committee Member @ Hanworth Commons Management Committee [Volunteer position] (2026-02 – today): This is an unpaid role, but I am in the process of securing employment within the organisation. This role involves conducting ecological surveys for UKHSA, liaising with the Norfolk County and North Norfolk District Councils to ensure compliance, and applying for ecological grants from charities and government.
- Cyberhood Watch Ambassador @ Neighbourhood Watch Network [Volunteer position] (2026-02 – today)
- Quality Assurance Engineer @ Patroniks Limited (2025-12 – today): I am under NDA. However, I learnt how to deploy React Native to AOSP 17 and iOS 28.
- Co-Opted Digital Communication Lead @ Norfolk Neighbourhood Watch Association [Volunteer position] (2025-12 – today): This has included communicating with media, and Microsoft 365 Entra tenant administration. I liaise with the OPCCN, have reviewed ISAs for Norfolk Constabulary, and have conducted data analysis across Norfolk.
- Membership Support Administrator @ Neighbourhood Watch Network [Volunteer position] (2025-09 – today): I assist with the administration of the county of Norfolk, for NWN and their partner organisations, which include Action Fraud and Norfolk Constabulary. Most frequently, I disseminate communiqués, report platform bugs, append members' activites to their audit logs, and verify scheme co-ordinators' identities.
- Youth Work Team Youth Council Member @ Neighbourhood Watch Network (2025-06 – today): As part of my duties, I have configured the telecommunications infrastructure for some local charities, and have liased with NWN HQ to improve website maintenance.
- Angel @ Fairphone Besloten Vennootschap [Volunteer position] (2025-04 – today): I provide beta quality assurance to Fairphone BV, and assist users within and outside of my designated region of responsbility. This includes technical assistance to the postmarketOS operating system developers, to render previously obsolete hardware usable again, in order to reduce the ecological effect of obsolete technology.
- Co-Opted Committee Member @ Hanworth With Gunton Memorial Hall Management Committee [Volunteer position] (2024 – today): I organise events, act as first aider, administrate its website, control how its social media accounts' advertisement budgets are spent, and ensure that its payment platform is accessible and integrated.

However, I am most proud of securing an interview with Channel 4, regarding the medical consequences of a lack of cellular connection in Norfolk.
- Regular Cyberspace Communications Specialist (CCS) Air Recruit (AR) / NATO STANAG 2116 OR-1 @ Royal Air Force Recruit Select [Internship] (2024-10 – 2024-10): I attended to complete the Basic Recruit Training Course. In practice, I visited RAF Marham, passed the Pre-Joining Fitness Test and Multi-Stage Fitness Test, learnt Health and Safety at Work, and was provided with NSV from NATO SHAPE.

However, I was merely present from the 7th to 9th, before I voluntarily withdrew. I did so because I realised that the lifestyle was not what I had hoped it would be, primarily due to severe lack of accommodation maintenance.
- Steward @ Revival Productions Limited (2023-08 – 2023-08): I worked as security, for a gathering of approximately 5 000 people with Norfolk Constabulary, for classicibiza.co.uk/blickling. The role was temporary; for a single night, due to the nature of the event.
- Regular Supply Chain Operative Junior Soldier (JS) / Private / NATO STANAG 2116 OR-2 @ British Army [Internship] (2022-09 – 2022-11): I attested, which meant that I was expected to serve at least 28 days. I wanted to complete all that I could before I wouldn't be able to leave (without violating my contract), so that I would be able to make an informed decision.

As part of CMS(R), I completed my Skill At Arms certification for Military Weapons Handling. This involved demonstrating competence at maintenance, and consistent sub-60 mm group size at 200 m, on a range.

Additionally, I was evaluated on how to operate under CS (riot) gas exposure, as part of my chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear decontamination drills.

I also studied combat first aid, and I practised multiple week-long woodland position assault and defence courses, during which I directed stretcher barers for a real casualty in a combat-simulation environment, at night. To enable this, I was certified to prevent and treat heat illness and cold injury.

Indeed, it was incredibly informative, and I didn't expect to gain as many qualifications as I did (including English and Mathematics at Level 2, which mattered to me back then). However, the state of my accomodation, equipment, and the discipline of my platoon, was not as I had hoped. This, compounded with not having been able to join in my preferred role of Cyber Engineer, caused me to choose to DAOR.

I left with the intent to re-enlist when I had achieved my English qualification. I eventually did, but chose the RAF instead, where I was accepted as a Cyberspace Communications Specialist.

This provided NSV clearance, from UKSV.
- Prefect @ Aylsham High School [Volunteer position] (2020 – 2021)

## Education

- Oxbridge Limited (2024-12 – 2026-07): Cambridge International AS & A Level Computer Science (9618)
- Royal Air Force Halton Aviator Training Academy Recruit Training Squadron [Vocational Training] (2024-10 – 2024-10): Basic Recruit Training Course — I completed all of the sections of the Defence Aptitude Assessment: psychometric, mathematic, orthographic, and mechanical.

Thereafter, I achieved the highest available level on the fitness test, and participated in a Health and Safety at Work course.

This provided NSV clearance, from UKSV.
- City College Norwich (2023-09 – 2023-09): Entry to the Uniformed Services Diploma (A3503)
- Army Foundation College (Harrogate) [Vocational Training] (2022-09 – 2022-11): Common Military Syllabus (Recruits) — As part of CMS(R), I completed my Skill At Arms certification for Military Weapons Handling. This involved demonstrating competence at maintenance, and consistent sub-60 mm group size at 200 m, on a range.

Additionally, I was evaluated on how to operate under CS (riot) gas exposure, as part of my chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear decontamination drills.

I also studied combat first aid, and I practised multiple week-long woodland position assault and defence courses, during which I directed stretcher barers for a real casualty in a combat-simulation environment, at night. To enable this, I was certified to prevent and treat heat illness and cold injury.

This provided NSV clearance, from UKSV.
- Paston College (2021-09 – 2022-07): Pearson Computing Foundation Diploma VRQ (A0381) — I attended a computer science course at this college, which I would have enjoyed if not for the constant lack of discipline amongst its attendant students. However, that was not the rationale for my cancellation — I was merely scheduled to attend Army CMS(R) during the duration of the course.
- Aylsham High School [School Education] (2016-09 – 2021-07): aylshamhigh.com/curriculumahs
- Bure Valley School [School Education] (2015-09 – 2016-07): burevalleyschool.org.uk/our-school/the-bvs-curriculum — I was a founder of its Latin club.
- Saint John the Baptist Church of England (Aided) Primary School [School Education] (2014-09 – 2015-07): gov.uk/government/publications/national-curriculum-in-england-primary-curriculum
- Windlesham House School [School Education] (2010 – 2013): windlesham.com/curriculum — This was a time of significant emotional and intellectual development for me. Providing the autonomy to spend recreation times in the woodland alone or with solely other children is a significant departure to the safeguarding afforded by other schools. However, it was solely to my benefit.
