INTERESTS AND ACTIVITIES SPORT

TRAVEL

DRAMA

In my final year at school, I was School Games Captain, a School Officer a Deputy Head Girl position - and captain of the Senior Netball team. I also played lacrosse, tennis, athletics and rounders for the first teams. I won the Senior Tennis cup, have played for the Hertfordshire Netball squad and been invited to try out at county level for both Netball and Lacrosse. These roles, responsibilities and opportunities have extended my leadership, time-management, and teamwork qualities as well as my ability to present in public. My love of travel has given me the opportunity to experience new sports, as well as adventures: I have wind-surfed in Margarita, collected turtle eggs in Mexico, visited a yellow alert volcano in Colimo, snorkelled and kite-surfed in Egypt, cycled the Road of Death and visited a high security prison in Bolivia! These experiences have been invaluable in developing my ability to work independently, meet a wide range of people and use my initiative. I am able to face new challenges with confidence. I enjoy going to see plays. Playing central roles in school productions and as part of my Theatre Studies course has enabled me to develop in confidence and gain further experience in leadership and negotiation skills. Planning, thinking ahead, working independently and in a team are all vital skills in this area.
