CURRENT MISSION

To learn and teach in equal measure

ABOUT ME

I am a 25-year old PhD student from London, UK. I'm a friendly, outgoing and respectful person who is always looking to meet new people along this great journey of mine.
I find it difficult to remain still when music is playing.

PHILOSOPHY

Always try to understand people. If I'm met by anger, return sympathy or kindness. If I'm met by ambivalence, then enthuse and excite. Of the many unhappy, grumpy, narrow-minded and generally lousy people on earth, not many of them chose to be unpleasant. So much can go wrong in people's lives to leave them feeling negative in some way and I believe the way to creating a happier, inclusive world is to listen to people and give them the support they need.

Interests

I work as a scientific researcher but have hobbies and interests in much more than just that. I love discovering new musical artists, sampling local cooking (and then some!) and absolutely love sports. It's quite unusual for British people to like American Football but I love it so I guess I'm unusual! I generally can find myself interested in most things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing 10km across rolling waves to see The Wailers play in a huge sandstorm, before camping on the beach under the stars.
