Charity Work
East London
I had an amazing time working for a local charity in East London that was all about helping young people get off the streets and into boxing. It was incredible to see how much of a positive impact the charity had on so many lives, and I was proud to be a part of it. Not only did I get to train at the gym and get into the best shape of my life, but I also took on the challenge of white-collar boxing fights – it was exhilarating! As if that wasn't enough, I also took on all the print and design work for the charity and pitched in wherever I could to help out with running the gym. It's so rewarding to be a part of something that makes a difference in people's lives.
2015 – 2016
Tenterden Town Juniors FC
Kent
I had an absolute blast being the head coach at Tenterden Town FC Juniors! It was an amazing opportunity to share my love for football and teach children of all ages, from under 6's to under 16's, the fundamental skills and strategies of the game. As a director of the club, I was also able to contribute to the growth and development of the organization. Being a part of the club gave me the chance to build strong relationships with the players, their families, and the community as a whole. It was an incredibly rewarding experience and one that I will always cherish.
2014 – 2015
Tenterden Town FC
Kent
I started as a first team coach at Tenterden Town FC where I enjoyed taking training sessions and working alongside the Manager on match days. When the Manager left, I was offered the role of first team Manager and I jumped at the chance! I'm now working hard with the players and staff to create a winning team and make the club a huge success. It's been an exhilarating journey so far, and I'm loving every moment of it!
2013 – 2014
FC Hamlets
East London
I have had the privilege of coaching a successful Saturday level football team, FC Hamlets, during the last season where we triumphed in all five of the trophies we were involved in. My dedication towards the team was not limited to the coaching aspect alone; I also took charge of updating the website, designing the match day home programmes, and submitting match reports to three different papers on a weekly basis. My passion for the sport also led me to send previews and reports to East London Radio, where they were broadcasted over the airwaves. Although I have now relocated to Kent, my commitment towards coaching has not waned. I have taken up a coaching position with Tenterden Town FC and am eager to inculcate the same values and principles of coaching that brought about success for FC Hamlets.
2011 – 2013
Lord Morpeth FC
East London
As a passionate football enthusiast, I had a blast managing a Sunday Football team for two seasons! We had an absolute blast during our successful runs in the Hackney and Leyton League and the East London Sunday Football League. But then I got an exciting offer to coach at FC Hamlets, and I knew I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by!
2013 – 2015
East London Sunday Football League
East London
As a member of the East London Sunday Football League Committee, I held the critical role of League Advancement and Advertising Secretary. I played a crucial part in the league's growth by securing sponsorship deals, keeping the website updated, and providing weekly league round-ups to the local paper. In addition, I was responsible for managing design and web work for all the teams, responding to their requests and ensuring their needs were met. I also worked closely with East London Radio, providing reports and previews for broadcast. My contributions helped to establish the league as a reputable and professional organization in the community.
2011 – 2013
DJ'ing
Global from 16 to 28 years old
I had a blast working as a DJ! Starting off at home, I quickly moved on to booking gigs at local bars and clubs, and even abroad. I loved experimenting with different equipment, from the classic Technic 1200's and 1210's to more modern CDJ's. My music tastes varied from old-school garage from '95 to classic house from '89 and up to the latest hits, depending on the crowd and event. I always loved bringing the party to life and seeing everyone dancing and having a great time.
