Hobbies and Interests
I love music, and I have been playing cello for the last five years. I love playing duets with my sister who plays violin and I also play in a string ensemble where I get to meet lots of new people and play music together. I also love puzzles, and I often spend my free time working on a crossword or sudoku. I am very passionate about the environment, and I love spending time outside. I am always trying to find ways of being more sustainable and trying to reduce my carbon footprint. I really love nature and wildlife and I think it is so important that we do everything we can to try and protect it.

Ambitions
After watching the documentary, The Real CSI, I have become fascinated by the world of forensic science and I hope to pursue a career in this field after graduating. I can’t wait to go into more depth in microbiology and biochemistry in my lectures at university and learn more about these topics.
