Hobbies and Interests

I frequently volunteer for STEM outreach programmes to try and support the next generation of engineers. I have a passion for all technology especially Hi-Fi equipment, and for many years I have enjoyed collecting and repairing vintage amplifiers, receivers and turntables. This love of music stems from playing musical instruments from a young age. I like to keep fit by going to the gym regularly and playing in a weekly 5-a-side football match of which I've organised since my time in university.
