INTERESTS & ACHIEVEMENTS My personal interests include reading, wri/ng, pain/ng and drawing. In my free /me I enjoy being outdoors especially hillwalking throughout Deeside, and a long walk on the beach is the perfect start or end to any day. I enjoy music, and singing and photography. I am avid rugby, basketball, and hockey enthusiast. I am a member of the Shark Trust, Gene/cs Society of America, Conserva/on Society (Aberdeen), and Zoo and Roots Society (Aberdeen). I have achieved personal goals of cage diving and working with white sharks, and traveling to South America, South Africa and Europe.
