Summary

Growing up in a rural area I have never been afraid of getting stuck into hard work. This, alongside helping Dad at his construction company for as long as I can remember, has developed my passion for surveying and the construction scene as a whole. My career goal is to evolve not only my surveying skills, but also have a professional career I can look back on and be proud of.
