Interests
- Continue to pursue several interests from my school years, including horse riding. In March 2004, I completed the Gold Award Duke of Edinburgh Awards scheme. This introduced me to ‘riding for the disabled' and the valuable work carried out by animal sanctuaries. I continued to contribute to these voluntary activities.
- I have been involved in the school PTA as a class representative. This included coordinating several fund raising activities and social events.
- For the last 8 years I have been a member of a community focused gym and regularly take part in fitness competitions.
