Kevin Luke Cherrington
Summary
Through my military experience, I have developed strong skills in problem solving, punctuality, discipline, a task focused attitude, and real life experiences I might not have encountered otherwise. Working at Outward Bound has allowed me to share my knowledge while also learning to be people-focused, patient, and caring. I believe joining the Police would be the ultimate test of these combined skills, allowing me to apply both my practical and interpersonal abilities in a meaningful way.
