: About Me

I'm soon to turn 22, and I've just graduated from the University of Southampton, in Hampshire, UK. For the first time in my life the future is not paved, my life is completely my own. This is both terrifying and incredibly exciting at the same time, but I know now that one of my ultimate passions is reading and writing, so I am beginning to pursue a career in Journalism.

My passion is ...

Disseminating ultimate truths about the world

I know too much about ...

Harry Potter

My parents always told me ...

to always pursue what makes you happy

My childhood ambition ...

to be an Artist

My favorite memory ...

5th birthday camping in the New Forest, making loads of friends around the site, especially when pretend riding a giant tractor!... feeling completely safe and secure and being the most confident I've ever been!

Why I write ...

I like to spread information/opinions/truths/knowledge and share.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

White Fang/Big Brother (oh the shame)/MUSE

My first job ...

Ward Assistant

My best moment ...

Getting GCSE and A level results

My inspiration ...

Would be the children's writers that made me read: Roald Dahl, Enid Blighton, Kaye Umansky, RL Stein, plus thank you JK Rowling for showing how thrilling stories are made and keeping fans teetering on the edge of anticipation for ten whole years.
