About me

I hope to go to UCL in September 2019 to study history and French but before then I want to take a gap year to properly explore French culture in a way that cannot be taught in lessons. I am driven and hardworking, especially when it comes to things I am passionate about. I play the cello, piano and sing and love all types of music, I also love reading and hope to improve my reading in French in order to explore French literature further. I enjoy going out with my friends and exploring new places or meeting new people. I am also quite outdoorsy, going on many hiking holidays in Wales with my family, I love the peace of the mountains!

Preferred location

I would like to spend my gap year exploring the French West Indies and immersing myself in the culture in order to learn the language in the most effective way possible.

Skills

I study history, french, english literature and music and will enjoy getting stuck into anything I could be useful for, especially if it is artistic in any way!! I have taken part in a programme helping young children with their reading and will gain further childcare experience over the summer with a local childminder.

Additional info

I am not a smoker, don't have a drivers license, I am not a vegetarian and I have no allergies.
