Hobbies & Interests



I am an ambitious, “down to earth” type of individual who thrives on learning, fitness and interacting with people. I spend a fair amount of spare-time, developing further my writing skills with the idea of one day, becoming a published writer – something that I would otherwise set aside from any other working career unless it were considered beneficial. I enjoy watching films and I love various types of music. Socializing with friends and making new ones is always high on my agenda. When time is spared or I just want to relax, I practise playing the piano.
