Do you belong to any Societies at CCCU and if so, why did you join them?
I do, I have joined the Musical Theatre Society, it’s really good experience and it’s a great laugh.
Any Hobbies?
Umm, well I like playing guitar, and writing songs, if you can call those hobbies.
What is your favourite class?
I would have to say vocal, because it gives me the chance to improve my technique to a professional level, which means I can pursue my passion to sing.
And you’re least favourite class?
I would have to say critical studies, I know it furthers us with theories of practitioners, but I find it a bit useless because I probably won’t use it in years to come.
What is your favourite meal to buy from the canteen?
It would have to be the chicken fajitas with wedges just because it’s really tasty and sold at a very reasonable price for students.
What career would you like to pursue after uni?
As long as I’m performing, singing or/and entertaining I don’t really care, however I would like to have a side project working on music and lyrics, kind of like Gary Barlow hahaha personal joke.

Favourite sports team:…That would definitely be Arsenal.
Favourite Song: What?! Oh man, I guess Green Day- Welcome to Paradise.
Favourite Artist/band: Deaf Havana.
Most Embarrassing moment: It would have to be when I did the ‘Fame’ jump on stage and split my trousers…in a very awkward place….in front of a sold-out show.
Do you have a party trick? The fame jump hahaha not really sure.
Celebrity crush? Emma Watson, big time!
What’s your relationship status? Single Pringle
What qualities do you look for in girls?
Someone who smiles, someone with ambition, who has uniqueness, someone who can put up with my taste in music and lastly someone who understands my humour, that is very important.
