Voluntary workI have participated in voluntary work through my church, St. Marys Longfleet. I led a youth group of 13-16 year olds for a year. I was a junior leader for a mission trip to South Africa and Mozambique during the summer of 2013, whereby I had to book and arrange flights for 30 people and also set up and help run events and activities.

Other InterestsI played rugby at school and for local clubs and helped to coach rugby to younger years at school, having taken a sports leadership course. I was also on the Southampton Solent University Rowing Team, helping to organise rowing events and taking the time to help train first years in the sport. I believe these activities show that I can be a capable and spirited team member.
