About Me
In my spare time I like to utilize my creative flare in multiple ways. I like to constantly create drawings and paintings for friends and family, and sometimes as commissioned pieces. The subject of said pieces of art are often inspired by another pastime of mine, travelling. I have travelled to many places all over Europe, with one of my favourites being the Republic of Ireland. When it comes to sports, I am from a highly athletic background where I took part in a wide variety of sporting activities growing up and still to this day. I joined my local gymnastics club when I was 5 years old and I haven’t stopped since, growing as a gymnast I have learnt so much about self-discipline and my own strength, I believe competing as a team in such a way has tested my ability to perform under pressure and stretched my ability to cohesively work as a group. I competed regionally and nationally throughout my younger teen years, and then went on to join the Loughborough Athletic Union Gymnastics squad. In addition to performing the sport, I highly enjoy volunteering with judging and coaching.
I believe with all of the skills and experiences I have that I would like to experience a new environment and have a taste of how others live and learn about other cultures. I am an enthusiastic and friendly person who is suitable for public facing jobs and services who believes life should be lived to the fullest and that any one can make a change.
