Outside Activities and Interests

Theatre and cinema are my main interests, hence why I decided to take a 3-year degree in Media, in which I get to explore texts in both of the above, as well as photography and architecture. I am also a keen athlete, having competed for England and Oxfordshire in the long jump. I also love to surf, as well as learning to snowboard this Winter in Les Deux Alps. I also love to watch tennis and rugby. This is my first year at university, having taken two years out to mature, travel and work full-time.
