Hobbies & Interests

I'm a keen paddle boarder and an ASI Sup instructor, and I love supporting people new to the sport and helping them gain confidence and skills. I am passionate about sailing, having grown up sailing a dinghy every summer. More recently, I have completed various trips with my family, sailing from Cartagena in Spain back to Portimao in Portugal and all around the south of France. I also enjoy travelling, having visited Asia, America and most of Europe. I love to give back to the community and have spent much time doing charity work in care homes and raising money for underprivileged children worldwide.
