Affiliations

  • I've worked behind the bar creating cocktails of an everchanging menu for the last 4 years. I've always done this part time outside of my studies and find it a great way to spend my free time,meeting new people as well as providing extra income as a student living in Manchester. Outside of work and studies I have always been a creative and social person pursuing hobbies such as knitting and crochet, painting, baking, cooking,and skiing. I also like to prioritize a healthy lifestyle through exercise and sports such as skiing and swimming ( as long as weather permitting). This being said I obviously enjoy to go out from time to time and enjoy a social drink especially with how much Manchester has to offer.
