Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and daughter, creating lasting family memories. I follow a wide range of sports, particularly American football and rugby, and actively play football, swim, and go to the gym. I have a passion for music, whether listening to support focus or attending live gigs with friends. Notable achievements include completing a 300 mile London to Paris cycling challenge and helping organise an annual Bikeathon for a number of years, both in aid of Blood Cancer UK.
