Hobbies and Interests
Expectedly, I spend a lot of my time reading, but I also enjoy writing short stories. I do some acting in my spare time and had the chance to take a show to the Edinburgh Fringe last summer which was very exciting but terrifying! Academically, I’m most interested in contemporary political theatre – the works of playwrights like Caryl Churchill, Ella Hickson and Mojisola Adebayo. But I’m also a big football fan (and terrible player), supporting Brentford with my Dad.
Ambitions
Currently, I’m figuring out whether I want to do a PhD and become an academic or look to go into a field like publishing or arts and culture journalism. Either way, I plan to be surrounded by books professionally and personally!
