Affiliations

I have a strong passion for sports, particularly football. As a dedicated player for Friar Lane Football Club, I've proudly earned numerous trophies and, more importantly, developed a deep appreciation for teamwork and collaboration. In addition to football, I am an avid skier who looks forward to annual trips to Austria, where I tackle challenging black slopes alongside family and friends. I have a strong passion for staying physically active and enjoy taking part in a wide range of sports. I particularly value the variety and challenge that different activities offer, from team-based games to individual pursuits. One of my newest passions is Muay Thai (Thai boxing), which I train in at White Bear Muay Thai, based at Muscle Machine Gym. I thoroughly enjoy developing my skills, fitness, and discipline through this sport, and it has further strengthened my commitment to maintaining an active, healthy lifestyle.
