    I enjoyed my time at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University - Now called Bucks New University. I played a major role in promoting a greener and more community active University.

    I chaired various joint University and student Union committees as well as being instrumental in the creation of a new recycling centre at the main university campus.

    My role of Law Representative and Ethics and Environmental Office brought different challenges which I faced head on. They also put my in a position of Trust which meant that students would come to me with sensitive issues ranging from Housing, disagreement with University management, litter etc which I would have to assist them with in a efficient and understanding manner.

    While I am proud of the environmental achievements at the University, it does not compare to the rewarding feeling I have from the annual charitable events which I set up, that have improved and touched the life’s of the most needy in our society.

    Activities and Societies: Football Academy, Played for the County (capped for Surrey), attempted to start my own company Crystal Sounds

    During my time at Richmond College I was a member of the football Academy, played for the county (Surrey) and played semi pro football for Bandsted, before moving on to Chipsted FC.

    I ruptured my anterior cruciate ligament and tore my cartilage a week before starting University ending my hopes of going professional.

    I also attempted to start my own company during my college days which was both hard work, and rewarding. Although football soon took precedence.
