Interests and passions
Sustainability, psychology, and sports/staying active.
Proudest achievement to date
Completing my Advanced 1 Ballet exam at the RAD HQ.
Superpowers
Self-reflection, empathy, and organisation/attention to detail.
Two things I would like to develop on this programme
Self-confidence/public speaking, and communication - specifically within a team.
Long-term aspirations
I’d like to become a therapist/counsellor, and aspire to set up a ‘pay for someone else’s time’ scheme where people can pay for someone else, who is less fortunate than them, to have 1-2-1 professional therapy and support.
What I would like to learn about The Crown Estate
How they are striving for a more sustainable future and how I can help.
Favourite place/space to visit in London
Covent Garden - it always has seasonal greenery everywhere you look and has very prominent brands - it doesn’t feel too industrialised due to the older architecture.
