Additional information;

On graduating with my Honours degree, I spent three years working and traveling around the world visiting New Zealand, Thailand, London, and Hong Kong. My main aim of travel was to experience different cultures and try new skills. I’ve went skiing down a volcano and surfed off the coast of NZ, obtained my PADI dive cert in Thailand, hiked up to the largest sitting Buddha in the world in Hong Kong, met and made some wonderful lifelong connections around the globe and feel very proud to have achieved so much.
