I did Indoor Skydiving for 7 years and completed all levels of skill in this course. I also enjoyed rowing and have competed in three rowing competitions. I currently am a part of my university�s cheer squad. I attended Young Archeologist Club, at UCL from the ages of 8 to 16 and later chose to volunteer there as an assistant leader. I also have participated in volunteering with disabled adults and have organised a fundraiser. I have a political in in feminism, as was shown through the regular presentations I gave to the feminist society at my school.
