“I’ve always been passionate about sport; before my accident I was a boxer. I also worked in a warehouse as a forklift truck driver and then everything changed and I became a wheelchair user in 2011.”
Greenbank College is helping me to achieve my ambitions
“I’ve been a student at Greenbank College for a few years and in that time, I’ve achieved so much. I’ve completed a number of qualifications including Maths, English and Exercise and Fitness at level 2.”
