I have a strong passion for sport and travel.  I love football and formula one especially, I enjoy travelling to new places whether that be abroad or in the UK. I love meeting new people and hearing about their stories and relish trying new experiences. I have a keen interest in music and radio. I was an avid member of the university radio station during my time at University and during this period I helped organise and took part in a number of very successful radio marathon shows for charity. I enjoy outdoor sports and am currently training for the London Marathon which I have just been accepted for in April 2020.
