PERSONAL INTERESTS

I have a huge interest in music, one of the main reason’s I am a DJ and wanting to be a Radio Presenter (plus my love of talking). I enjoy listening to and exploring music in my free time. I am also a big adrenaline junkie; I have scuba dived, bungee zip-wired off of a 1000ft building, bungee jumped and sky dived, with many more to add to the list once I can. I enjoy spending my time volunteering and raising money for charities (due to particular circumstances in my life) and find this very rewarding.
