I am a first year undergraduate Law student at Queen Mary University of London. As a keen rugby referee and player, I have worked closely with Colchester Rugby club for several years volunteering as a coach with one age group and refereeing youth games on every Sunday at the club before starting University. Whilst being at University I have continued my refereeing within the London Society of Rugby Football Union Referees and have being included into their developmental Academy system. As well as rugby, and sport in general, I am interested in travelling and volunteer work. At the age of 17, with the rest of my School rugby team, I helped raise money for both Help for Heroes and the Teenager Cancer Trust as a part of our charity rugby tour to South Africa where we visited orphanages and townships as well as donating kit to a local side and running a coaching session with a local township side. Furthermore, in my gap year I spent two months working on a camp in Pennsylvania, USA for children with ADD/ADHD, Asperges and Autism. Taking care of seven boys aged thirteen to fifteen who were widely considered to be the most troublesome at the camp, provided an exceptionally difficult task but also improved my interpersonal skills both with my fellow counsellors and the boys in question as they were less than reasonable at times.
