Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy a balance of creative and technical hobbies. I am fascinated by computer science, particularly hands – on coding and problem – solving puzzles. My creative outlets include sketching, painting, sculpture design, and following fashion. Additionally, I love exploring new cultures through travel: I recently challenged myself to learn scuba diving in Tenerife and intend to complete my PADI certification. Alongside these personal interests, I possess strong hands – on laboratory and analytical skills gained throughout my forensic science degree, and I am currently booking a refresher course to renew my first aid certification to ensure I can contribute to a safe workplace environment.
