Voluntary work
Sept 2014 to Sept 2017: Riding for the Disabled.
I assisted as a volunteer, getting horses ready for the classes, walking horses for the disabled riders and brushing them down after the session. I also helped by holding onto the participants on the horse or leading the horses round safely.
Hobbies
Scouting: Having been through the Scouting/Guides movement from Rainbows to Explorers, I was a Young Leader at Tickhill Doncaster Scouts Pack.
Cosplay: I attended local meetings yearly and contacted other participants via social media.
Reading: Reading is a very big passion of mine and I like to read whenever I can. My favourite authors are Rick Riordan, Eoin Colfer and Sarah J Maas, I also read a lot of Manga.
Writing and Drawing: Writing is another passion of mine and reading helps me with keeping my inspiration. Drawing is something that I have done for a while now and I am contemplating whether to sell my art. I have also made a mural at my last place of work for one of the walls in a well used building.
Wildlife: I am interested and have a fascination with all animals big and small, but I have a particular interest in Birds of Prey, Coral Reefs and other Aquatic Life such as Sharks.
Dungeons and Dragons (D&D): I was a dungeon master (DM) for my group at university and we played weekly. Before that, I would play weekly at a store close to home and play games. I still DM for an online group.
