Penicuik Hunter and Lass

I was born in Edinburgh in May 2002, I moved to Penicuik 19 years ago with my Family.
I started my school years at Strathesk Primary School until P6 when I moved to Cuiken Primary to finish my last two years. I then attended Penicuik High School.
Since leaving high school I have worked as a chef at Glencorse barracks, before learned my way to becoming a scaffolder, I started my scaffolding career with Zenith Structural Access having an amazing time with amazing people. After I couple of years I started working for J & I Scaffolding Ltd, where I had the opportunity to travel all over the UK putting up scaffolding alongside Open Reach to help provide better WiFi broadband.
I currently work for Wetherspoons in Edinburgh on nightshift helping to provide and make sure everything is ready for dayshift, I work with some amazing people giving me the opportunity to grow friendships and bonds with new people.
I have also worked in the local radio station Crystal FM 107.4 and was giving my own show, this gave me the chance to provide a Live on Air radio show to my local community, I loved every minute of it.
I played rugby for my local team of Penicuik starting off as hooker in the front row for my first year, I then moved to the back row after a year on the wing, loving every minute of it.
I have been single for coming up to a year, this has given me the opportunity to work hard and support my family.
It is an absolute honour to be selected as the Penicuik Hunter for 2024, it’s an amazing feeling to be giving the opportunity to represent the community for the upcoming year and I can’t wait to visit many towns and meet some amazing people along the way.
