Summary

I’m currently studying for a BA in Geography at the University of Nottingham, exploring topics around people, places, and the environment. Alongside my studies, I’m actively involved in theatre (acting, singing, and dancing) and karate, which have supported my personal and professional growth.

These experiences have developed my transferable skills, including:

  • Strong communication and teamwork through performances and group projects
  • Effective time management and critical thinking
  • Adaptability and resilience in fast-paced settings
  • Self-motivation and diligence in both individual and team tasks

I’m a confident, driven individual who works well under pressure, independently or in a team.

Affiliations

  • Outside of academics, I’m a driven and enthusiastic individual with a passion for the outdoors, fitness, fashion, and the performing arts. Completing the Duke of Edinburgh Award sparked my love for nature and resilience—my ideal weekend involves exploring outdoors with a good book. I stay active at the gym, enjoy spending time with friends, and keep up with fashion trends. I'm committed to charitable work, having fundraised for Cancer Research UK and supported Scope, a cause close to my heart. My main passion is performing arts—acting, singing, and dancing—which I’ve pursued from a young age, performing at venues like the National Theatre and Queen’s Theatre. These experiences have developed my teamwork, communication, and leadership skills, which I bring confidently to all areas of life, including the workplace.
