Affiliations
I have many hobbies and interests including going to the gym regularly to do weight lifting and work on my cardio. I enjoy cooking especially for family I love to challenge myself with new recipes and discover new flavours and techniques. I also have a pet cat called Merlin who I love to spend quality time with. On my days off I tend to spend my time with my fiancé trying out different local coffee shops around Glasgow. I also love visiting new places around Scotland as my Fiancé works within Scotrail so we get to do so for free. I am also a creative individual who loves to draw and paint which I have taken into freelancing especially during covid.
