Interests

In my summer months, I sail a mixture of dinghies and yachts both competitively and for fun at my local sailing club the Royal Burnham Yacht Club. I  have previously held the position of ‘Cadet Captain', this was a voluntary role voted in by my piers that involved the overseeing and organising of sailing activities for sailors under the age of 21 for the year.  I also enjoy watching and playing rugby competitively at university and before that at school. My highlights of my Rugby career have been playing for the likes of Saracens Rugby Club Academy and being named first team captain for my school.  At school I would regularly volunteer, helping elderly residents of Chelmsford community come to school to socialise and entertain them to ensure they have an enjoyable time.
