Personal

Since moving to the UK, I enjoy exploring London and travelling around England and Europe, particularly road trips where you get to pull in and explore the towns along the journey.

Back in Sydney, I enjoyed catching up with friends and family, and in the summer months snorkelling and scuba diving at my favourite spots around Sydney.

I am also a voracious reader and enjoy writing, watching movies and TV shows.
