Interest

I am fortunate to do something that I love at university, however outside of the degree, I have a keen interest in football, padel tennis and going to the gym while also taking the time to follow motivational and inspirational speakers like David Goggins. When there is the chance I enjoy spending time with family, cooking and visiting different places of the world with my friends.
