Activities and Interests

I have a strong passion for sport, especially netball and horse riding. I also enjoy art and being creative. I have volunteered at school on a regular basis such as coaching the younger children to swim and read. I have also completed my Duke of Edinburgh Bronze and Silver awards which taught me perseverance and resilience. I also helped raise over £20,000 for children's mental health services locally by fundraising with some friends. This involved lots of organisaitonal skills and interactions with the press.


As head girl I often have to lead and organise whole school events, including timetabling, public speaking, and interacting with staff and parents. I have regularly taken on part-time work when I can during my studies to help me gain skills in customer service and hospitality. I enjoy business management and aim to study this through further education. I am known for being calm, quietly confident, independent and mature. I enjoy spending time with family and friends and love walking our dogs and enjoying the outdoors.
