I have and will continue to educate myself beyond my academic pursuits through different ventures to build, invest in and develop myself. I constantly partake in a wide range of extra-curriculars, whilst balancing my academic work. During my undergraduate studies, I partook in a Learning

Together programme at HMP Whitemoor which culminated in a published anthology. This helped improve my written communication skills, where I actively listened, received, and gave constructive feedback, and collaborated with inmates and students alike. This is very useful for construction and collaboration of software written by and used by different members in a team. I also participated in exercise research studies, boxing, athletics and a gymnastic competition, running a half-marathon and more. This developed my discipline, tenacity and patience.
