Instructor Profile - Craig Gallacher
 Martial Arts Experience:
I currently train with Cambridge Kung Fu.
Academic Qualifications:
I am currently studying BSc Audio and Music Technology at Anglia Ruskin University, almost done!
Other Relevant Experience:
My background is largely in working with children. I have worked with kids in many capacities since I was 16, including;
-
A children's party host at my local leisure centre for 5 years
- A summer day camp leader for 4 years
- A "Snowranger" for a UK ski company in France for the 2003/2004 ski season, essentially childcare for kids aged 18 months -10 years, and all in the snow!
- I have worked 4 Summers at a YMCA kids summer camp based in Massachusetts, America in various positions including Waterfront Director, Multi-Media Director, Camp Program Director and Assistant Camp Director.
- I have worked as an Outdoor Education Instructor for two Seasons at the same camp, teaching leadership skills, communication, teamwork and outdoor science
- Along with the great times I've had working with kids, I've also lead a very active life. Sports were important to me from an early age competing in Swimming, Trampolining, Badminton, Mountain Biking and Cross Country Running. I have also gained qualifications in such areas like:
- Level 2 Trampoline Coach
- Level 1 Badminton Coach
- Basketball Coaching Qualification
- I have been a qualified lifeguard for 8 years
Goals:
I aim to help the kids in classes make the most of their youth and help them prepare for a happy and healthy life with good strong morals. On a more personal side, in the long term I aim to spend one more season in a ski resort before establishing my own multi-media company specialising in cross media production and live events. Short term, I aim to make the most of my time left at university both academically and socially.
Interests:
I live a fast paced life taking any opportunity I have time for (I hate having nothing to do!). I enjoy being physically active and having fun so teaching the kids classes at Cambridge Kung Fu is perfect, alongside which I play a lot of league badminton, swim whenever possible and most importantly of all try to get at least one ski holiday in each year. When I'm not out doing something active, I have a passion for audio and video production and produce brochures and promotional DVD's for the camp I work at in America.
