Interests & Hobbies

Although in performance I specialise in drama, I am also a keen dancer. I competed in Ballroom and Latin dancing for the University of Aberystwyth and I was a member of the committee which demonstrates my enthusiasm for the sport. I now take lessons in Salsa, Ballroom and Latin dancing in my home area. I have been a member of the Guiding movement for 17 years and have taken pleasure in all the tasks and activities I have been involved in over the years. It is very close to my heart. I also enjoy camping with guiding too which presents challenges that I enjoy. I was a member of SSAGO (Student Scout and Guide Organisation) and last summer we participated in a programme called Roverway which took place in Iceland with 42 other countries attending. It was a challenging and once in a life time experience, which included trekking through canyons and taking part in a cultural festival.
