Affiliations
- I currently really enjoy going to the gym regularly and creating social media content based on fitness and lifestyle and have began to gain a positive following through my posts. I am a big formula 1 fan and love supporting McLaren on race weekends and hope to one day go to a silverstone race. I also like cooking and baking new and interesting recipies that I find on the internet (usually healthier alternatives to my favourite unhealthy foods)
Accomplishments
I have a BA honours in contemporary art and illustration
I took part in a silent auction for the first time in March 2025 with two of my art pieces and had one of them sell for higher than the asking price.
In my second year of university I was captain of my universities competitive cheerleading team and was responsible for overseeing the teams competition entries, uniform orders, routines and general wellbeing
