The WorldSkills Kazan 2019 competition was tough as there were many different nations competing and many competitors were more experienced than me. However, the training I received from DRCO gave me confidence in my creativity, and with the support of my coaches, we did well. It was a special experience which not many people get. That, plus everything I’ve learnt in the DRCO, is bound to serve me well in the future.
