One area of personal interest is animal welfare. I have a rescue cat, a horse who I have also rescued and two guinea pigs that were gifted to me. Caring for my animals is a deeply rewarding part of my life—it’s taught me patience, empathy, and the power of unspoken trust. 

Mental health and Neurodiversity advocacy, is another area I’m passionate about promoting. I enjoy open conversations around mental well-being and celebrating neurodiverse perspectives. I believe every voice deserves to be heard and understood.

I love being outdoors whether it’s walk in the countryside on my own or with others, being outdoors gives me space to reflect, recharge, and feel connected to something bigger.

Family and friends are important to me, sharing a laugh, supporting each other, or simply being present in each others lives, it is the small things that bring meaning to my life.
