Interests
As well as an interest in the visual arts, I have performed in several theatre and BBC radio productions, sing and play guitar. I participate in a number of team and individual sports including surfing, which has taken me to countries such as Portugal and Indonesia. This has given me the opportunity to add further languages to my repertoire.
