    INTERESTS

    I enjoy sports, especially football, and have been a member of a womens


    intramural football team (2002-2004).

    I am a keen swimmer and a certified PADI Open Water Diver (1996). I have
    been a member of several local dive clubs allowing me to develop my diving
    skills and take part in club dive trips.

    I find playing and listening to music a relaxing pastime. Learning to play the
    electronic organ required high levels of self-motivation and commitment,
    which has been reflected in being awarded Grade Five in 1996 and Grade
    Three in music theory in 1995.

    I also enjoy reading, particularly science fiction and criminology.
