“I’ve worked in sales and business development for the last four or five years, but I never got that job satisfaction, so I started training in my spare time until I thought about doing it for a job.
“In the first few weeks I have received very good feedback and I am very grateful to the team I am working with.
“Other than this, I’m a snowboarding enthusiast and instructor, and I also surf a lot when I can. That also requires me to do a lot of cardio and strength training.”
“I also used to play football, walk, climb and swim.
