  • Making the world a better place

    I’m a climate activist, involved with Youth Strike 4 Climate, UKSCN and Extinction Rebellion. I love doing this because I feel like I’m helping to improve the world and make even the smallest difference with everything I do!

    I think there is much to be done to make the world better. Firstly we need equity and then equality on all grounds - in terms of gender, race, sexuality and all else, because until there is basic respect on all grounds, we can never have a society that functions as it should.

    We all need to try our best to be giving with our time and money, to causes that we know are honest and beneficial to others, and we should be taking the time to educate ourselves about what we can do, and also any prejudices we may unknowingly carry so we can try to get rid of them.

  • My interests in other cultures

    I love learning about any culture I can! I want to make sure I am more well-rounded, as I feel really privileged as a white person and I want to know more about other cultures than just my own <3

  • Favourite books/authors/films

    I have a lot, so I’ll just bullet point!

    • The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
    • Divergent by Veronica Roth
    • Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
    • One Of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
    • The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
    • The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare
    • Percy Jackson, Heroes of Olympus, Trials of Apollo, the Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase and anything else by Rick Riordan

    I can’t think of the rest at the moment so I will update when I do.

  • Personal skills

    Probably the number of languages I’m learning! There is also morse code I am learning too.

    I can act, sing and dance and I love performing- I would love to be in a TV show or film one day but I know that’s probably super unrealistic.

    I’m generally good at school, I always get high grades because I work really hard for them, I am such a perfectionist!
