• I love most sports, especially team sports such as rugby, football, hockey and basketball. Outside of school, I enjoy skiing, skateboarding and a little golf.
• I am a member of the Nuffield gym, where I enjoy keeping fit. I have a keen interest in nutrition and health and generally follow a healthy lifestyle.
• I am passionate about food and cooking, and enjoy creating new recipes, well received by the family! Over the years, I have been lucky enough to have travelled quite a lot, and this has inspired my passion to cook as I sample new food in the places I visit.
• In my down time I love to play the guitar and enjoy spending my time practising ‘classics’, which I attempt learn by ear.
