Education
Between 2016 and 2021, I attended Hurstpierpoint College, a boarding school in West Sussex, following my earlier education at The Hawthorns School in Surrey. Both institutions provided a strong academic foundation and offered extensive opportunities to participate in individual and team sports.
Equestrian
I have ridden and competed with horses from a young age, and it remains one of my major personal interests. I have competed both individually and as part of school teams, including representing the Equestrian 1st Team at Hurstpierpoint College. A particular highlight was winning the showjumping competition at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, an experience that strengthened my discipline, resilience and ability to perform under pressure. The teamwork and commitment required in competitive sport are qualities I now apply to my professional life.
Skiing
In addition to equestrian sport, I was a member of the school Ski Team, competing for three consecutive years in the ISSC Championships in France against strong national school competitors. This experience taught me perseverance, focus and the importance of supporting a team in high-pressure environments.
Charity
Charitable work is also a meaningful part of my interests. One of the most memorable initiatives I participated in was climbing Mount Snowdon while carrying a sofa to raise funds for Prostate Cancer Research UK. This challenge required teamwork, physical endurance and commitment to a shared goal, and it remains an achievement I am particularly proud of.
