Dean's List Award 2022/23 - University of Ulster

• For Academic Achievement

I have a love of all types of sport. I used to be heavily involved in many sports most notably athletics, I trained 6 days a week and competed at a national level, with my highest achievement being that I placed 2nd in Ireland for the U19 men's long jump. I also played rugby throughout school and at senior club level. I currently enjoy running and hiking to keep fit and mentally healthy in my free time. These sports have developed my love of the outdoors and developed many skills like discipline, teamwork, a strong work ethic and a drive to always be the best I can.

I am passionate about musical theatre performance. I have performed at diverse events that have involved entertaining crowds of up to two thousand in many major venues across Northern Ireland like the Grand Opera House, Ulster Hall, St Anne's Cathedral, Waterfront and Stormont. I have performed at the World Dairy Summit 2017, musical theatre concerts, weddings and charity fundraising concerts. These experiences have developed my creative thinking, problem solving. adaptability, forward planning, and ability multi-task.
