In the 2023/2024 training year, I had the wonderful opportunity to instruct over 300 cadets on various topics. As an Instructor for all levels, I taught 1-2 lessons almost weekly where I could teach cadets about leadership, military drill, and aviation, along with safety, relationships, and conflict resolution through PHASE. I absolutely love this role in the squadron and developed my instructional skills over the year.
I also demonstrated Instruction outside Tuesday Training while leading the Effective Speaking Team. I created a weekly curriculum for the topics cadets will be learning. I hosted weekly 2-hour meetings where cadets learned and practiced speech writing, impromptu speaking, debating basics, instructional skills, lesson plan development and interviewing skills. The ES Seniors and I delivered these lessons. I am also proud to have helped to set up the Squadron Competition with Lt Brunner where a cadet progressed to the Zone Competition level and excelled. I felt extremely proud that my teaching helped this cadet succeed.

After 4 years in Air Cadets, I have grown so much as a person and learned many essential life skills. Today I got promoted from Sergeant to Flight Sergeant with my fellow Level 5 peers.

My 2022/2023 cadet year was a time when I had the chance to push myself and step out of my comfort zone by stepping up. As a result, I was awarded Top Level 4 Cadet in my squadron. I was specifically recognized for best dress, drill and deportment, leadership, and enthusiasm.
I had the honour of receiving the Commanding Officer's Coin at 767 Dearman's ACR (Annual Ceremonial Review) for demonstrating exceptional leadership, initiative and involvement in the squadron.
