Interests:
I took part in a scheme to build and fly an amateur rocket in the National Amateur Rocket Association's competition. I was head of the aerodynamics section of this project.
I play the guitar in a band currently performing in the local area. This hobby requires a great amount of planning, teamwork and determination. This culminated in our winning Battle of the Bands.
