My Interests
| International Radio Show: I used to run and present a radio show on GU2, the University Of Surrey's student radio station. I hosted the show with a mixture of guests from different parts of the world, playing their local music and finding out more about the diverse cultures that made Surrey University such a fantastic place to study! |
|
 | Fencing: I started fencing at university, where I joined the Fencing club there for my last 3 years there, and in the last 2 was the treasurer for the society, solving several problems such as aquiring new budget for the club and recruiting new members. I also competed regularly in national competitions for the university. My main weapons are Epee and Sabre. |
| Skiing: I try to go skiing once a year if possible. I go mainly around the French Alps, but also to Killington, Vermont, USA. I would like to go skiing in Whisler, Canada next. |  |
 | Sailing: I have my RYA Level 2 sailing certificate and have also taught sailing to kids during my time in America. I have mainly sailed dinghies, such as Toppers, Wayfarers and Lasers, but would like to crew a yaught someday. |
| Music: I am Grade 6 on the Violin, and have taught myself the Guitar and Piano. On the violin, I have played in several orchestras and quartets. I also have written some of my own music using computer software such as Cakewalk. |  |
 | Travel: I love traveling and seeing new countries and cultures. I have been to several places by myself or with friends and family, including South Africa, Syria, America (where I worked and traveled for 3 months), Canada, Hong Kong and several destinations in Europe. |
| Entrepreneurship: I was a founding member of the Entrepreneurship @ Surrey (E@S) Society. We set up a fund that allows student members to get some funding for their business ideas. |  |
