A Communicator: As President of the Computer Society, I am fortunate to meet many new students from any year of study and can offer help with computer problems or through the society 'know a man who can'. I have excelled in coursework involving presentations and in one exercise, I received the highest mark within my tutor group. |

An Enthusiast: I have always put considerable energy and enthusiasm into any and all of my activities, believing that this is the only way to achieve worthwhile results. Whether working as a physically demanding harvester or Scuba diving on a wreck or completing some coursework, I make sure I meet deadlines and the targets that have been set for me - or which I have set for myself. |

Currently I enjoy Scuba Diving. I am qualified to the level of Advanced Open Water diver with PADI (an American organisation).
