About Me
My two biggest passions in life are food and fitness and I’m currently using my weekends studying to become a qualified personal
trainer and nutritionist, which includes running sessions forvarious long-suffering friends and family members. I’m a semi-committed
vegan but have an unfortunate appetite for anything made of chocolate. When I’m not blending kale or scoffing Double Deckers I’m
also a huge fan of music and travelling to as many new places as I can fit in.
