About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel, video game development, meeting new people...

ABOUT ME

Enthusiastic and engaged. I'm drawn to creative people with ideas, especially those who put them into practice.

I prefer smaller groups where you can actually get to know people rather than a big mob.

Currently finishing off a science degree and working on a video game :)

PHILOSOPHY

"Success is the ability to go from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm."

~ Winston Churchill
