Apprentice Technician for Taggarts Volvo (Lookers Group) Glasgow

I am a 17yo girl from Glasgow, Scotland. The reason for becoming an Apprentice Technician is because my Grandad was a mobile mechanic and I grew up with my dad having motorbikes, I didn’t know much about the mechanical side but I wanted to learn and make a career out of it. After leaving school I worked with horses, for a first job I loved it however I preferred it as a hobby. Another sport I loved to do was cycling,  e.g. mountain biking, road cycling even the velodrome. I used to race and even won a few medals but now I prefer to watch more than take part. I love adventures, finding different places and spending hours surrounded by mountains and greenery. When I’m not in the workshop I love to go to racing events, whether its rally, track racing and even the British Superbikes.
