Hobbies and Interests
- Sports, I have been very passionate about sports since childhood, volunteering to help the staff with after school clubs and competitions to indulge in the sporting environment. This encouraged me to pursue these sports and drive a force in shaping my academic and personal pursuits. This love for sports has inspired me to pursue a degree in Sport and Exercise Science. Eager to delve deeper into the science behind athletic performance, biomechanics, and sports psychology, I am committed to leveraging my passion for sports in coaching younger children in the future.
- DJing, Since a young age I always had a great passion for music as it was always involved in my childhood and pushed upon me by my uncle who at the time was a band. Since coming to university it allowed me to experience all different types of cultures and music genres and during which I fell in love with DJing and the background behind it. Just recently I have played at a number of different big student parties and events across Leeds allowing me to fall in love with the hobby and make it something I wish to pursue later in life.
