Alongside my academic studies, I was actively involved in various clubs and societies, with a particular focus on Lacrosse, where I held several leadership roles, including President and 1st Team Captain.  

Outside of university, I compete in Lacrosse at an international level, participating in tournaments and matches against top teams from the UK and overseas.
