Hobby and interests

Theatre & Performing - Very passionate about expression and change through theatre and acting, seen multiple shows and adore analysing performances and their effects on the audience. Also joined a non-profit theatre group named The Habbit Factory for the past 3 years to fulfill my desire to perform and have an audience outside of education.
Reading - Love a variety of genres, recently more interested into feminist literature and how different authors of different backgrounds present feminism into something digestable.
Drawing - A creative medium used as an outlet and an exploratory tool since I was young.
Science - Specfically biology and chemistry, have always been fascinated by the machine that is the body and the interactions of so many molecules creating the world we live in, hence pursuing it at A-Levels for personal interest rather than solely for dentistry.
