Accomplishments
I have completed two Half Marathons: the Birmingham 2024 Half Marathon and the Edinburgh Winter Warmer 2025 Half Marathon. These have fine-tuned my ability to dedicate myself to a plan and remain motivated. I also competed in the Edinburgh student fight night in November 2023, in which I won my fight, which ignited my love for boxing.
Social Secretary of Edinburgh University Boxing Society
As social secretary, I am tasked with organising social events to maintain positive morale amongst the member and create a positive social environment. This includes fortnightly events which include a wide variety, from pub crawls, to fight watching parties, and even seasonal meals and special occasions. This benefits my time and event management skills, as well as my interactions with others.
